| Hacking a keyboard |

| RedSquirrel:
Okay, thinking of ways to turn the PC off without opening the case and shutting down via keyboard. I have one of these keyboards with a bunch of buttons on and one of them is a shut down button. I could wire it from the keyboard to the cab side etc. However I dont really want a long wire going from the keyboard to the cab if i remove the keyboard and place it on my lap for example. Or possible could i keep the keyboard in there (hack other buttons too if i want) and just use a USB keyboard as a normal one? Would using the hacked keyboard along with a ipac work okay? Or has anyone got other options? cheers |

use mamewah... you can shut down the PC from within the FE or, just re-wire your computers power button to the front of yer cab (all modern PC's normally shut down then switch off when the power button is pressed) :P |

I did try mamewah but didnt think much of it (couldnt get it to work right). Ill try again though sometime. |

or wire your power button. It's just a switch. Oh wait, that depends on the mobo. My roommates mobo will shut windows down then you press the power button. |
