SilverStone Technology Wireless Remote Computer Power/Reset Switch, USB 2.0 9-pin ES02-USB (SST-ES02-USB-USA)

My main PC lives next to my TV but behind a rack of guitars because I do my all my gaming from my couch, so I wanted to be able to turn the PC on remotely. This fit the bill. Installation was super straightforward once I figured out they were talking about the FPANEL connector on the motherboard. The remote is solid, the battery seems fine, and it works from the couch (about 8 feet from the PC).

Works out of the box. The included battery is bad and may need immediate replacing if you're having range issues. Once properly powered, the device is excellent value. Remote is about as durable as your standard set of car keys, maybe a little less. Wire length isn't obtrusive. Works in both Linux and Windows.

make Sure your USB plug ins are turned on in your bios!!!!! or this switch will turn off your PC but wont turn it on as the USB plugins are disabled when you shut off your PC. SO with no power you will not be able to turn on with remote. This device works GREAT!!!!!!!!! my case switch is wearing out so this is a great alternative to replace the case micro switch.

I hooked this up to my MoBo, expecting it to work properly, but it doesn’t work 100% of the time! I could press the button once to turn it on, then like 20 times to turn it off, the accuracy is total garbage! I installed it properly, and even tried installing it on a different machine but it still has these issues.

Before I get into any kind of review let's get into the meat of why I'm even making one. The instructions suck. I mean I should not be in any way surprised that a product like this is documented horribly, but it still hurts the same. So, let's get into the reason you're probably here. How does this work? And why doesn't mine? Save the usual fluff of failure caused by the inherent nature of assembly lines, and inevitable human mistakes, this thing has some caveats. To connect it, you connect either the included USB adapter motherboard connector to your motherboard, and then connect the actual device itself to that, along with whatever else you had hooked to the USB connector on the Motherboard on one of the prongs from the adapter, or you connect it itself to that spot. From here, locate your Connectors for power switch, and reset switch, and remove them, making note of where they were and orientation. Plug the Silverstone's preconnected Y cable into those pins now (They're labelled accordingly) , the ones you removed initially should be hooked up to the silverstone cable. The included screwdriver with a miniature Torx, and the battery in the remote should be next. Locate the battery, and the remote and make sure you work on a surface that if a screw were to be dropped, that you can locate it. You're not replacing this screw, ever, I did not know Torx were made this small. It might be proprietary. No idea. If I'm honest, I kind of don't care. This entire set up is woefully convoluted. They could have just put a pressure fitting on one side of the remote casing, but no, it's like this. Whatever, don't lose the screwdriver because eventually the battery is going to die. Okay, you should be good to go. Give it a test. Press on, on the remote. Make sure to note if there is a light brightening on the remote. If it works: Great? Enjoy! If it doesn't: Manually start the PC using the case button, if you can't, your wiring is screwed up, probably at the pins for the Y cable where the case is connected, or where the y cable connects to the motherboard itself. If they're backward (+ is - and - is +), it won't work, so make sure those are correct. If you can start the PC with the button on the case, but not the button on the controller. Try holding the button on the controller down for a few seconds, or pressing reset after you start the machine with the case power button. I'm not advising this be done until windows or linux or whatever you're using is loaded. If the machine powers off, and it won't start up, we'll cover that. The device is likely working if it resets or powers off. So you're almost there. From here: Get into bios and look for Wake from Sleep via USB, or something similar. I don't have your motherboard, I don't know what each company says. If you're using a prebuilt, it can be anything, if it's not obvious, check the forums or ask the company. If it's custom, check your manual. You kept it right? Once that's on, we need to cover S1-S4. Essentially, these mean different levels of sleep. This device can wake the PC up to S4. Shutdown state 5 is full power down, that's 'shut down' in windows. Anything less, and you're good to go. Keep in mind, some bios settings will prevent these states, so read your manual carefully to see if multiple settings can affect S3 or S4 states. This device actually can't wake your computer from fully powered off. The closest it can get is Hibernated wake up. Which is why it won't work if you shut down the computer completely (The manual makes mention of this). What I'd suggest, is setting your power button to hibernate the computer within your operating system that way, the button on the controller hibernates, and wakes up the PC. Once all of that's done, it should work. Quick recap: Make sure you set wake via USB Make sure your PC isn't completely off when powered down Make sure your battery's correct Make sure you don't lose that included screwdriver And finally, make sure your wiring is correct. Works a charm once the PC's tuned for it, I had no issues after setting the PC for hibernation. Other bits, it's 20 bucks, I think it's kind of steep. Yeah you get a cable, a remote, a wireless thing, and an adapter, but it just seems a tad overpriced to me. But I got a keyboard, with a mini mousepad for my thumb a wireless adapter and a lot more buttons, silicon, and plastic for less than that So I'm disinclined to really think it's priced that way because it's particularly full of value. Much more likely the niche nature of the product. So the 20 bucks for convenience is nice. I could see it being used on a main room media PC, or a PC that's a pain to go start due to remoteness or something. It's got a purpose, just, unconventional. I hope this helps.

Makes my world easier. My computer is used for streaming. Across the room turn on and go. Easy Peasy. The computer does not have a reset on the case. The remote Does! Press the button and hold. Takes about two seconds and then the computer comes to life. Worth the dollars spent.

I have been using this for a while now. It is very convenient to be able to sit down at my work station and not have to get up to reach my PC and turn it on. The range seems quite good on this device. It is nice to have a button to sleep/wake my computer and another button to restart it. I used Velcro to stick it to the back of my monitor so I won't lose it and it's always in reach and out of sight. There are some caveats. Since this gets power from a 9-pin USB 2.0 header on your motherboard, it won't work if your computer was fully without power. Put another way, if you flip the hard power switch on the PSU or unplug your computer, this device won't work to turn it on until you power it on manually once first. I got a bit tired of that and bought one of these USB male to 9-pin male cables: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08D68JW4K Which I used to power this device from the same surge protector as I power the PC. It works as long as the PC is plugged in now. Don't have to rely on the motherboard giving power to something.

I have two of these. One for my living room PC, and one for a PC that's tucked wayyyyyy below a desk They work great and they don't interfere with each other with some limitations. One: you need to be aware that they run on USB power. If your motherboard doesn't supply USB power when the machine is off, this doesn't work. This isn't a huge deal as both my motherboards do supply USB power when they're off, but if there's a power failure, these things don't always work the first time. I'd like to see a future revision of this device maybe with an on-board battery or capacitor to keep it powered up. Two: my second biggest complaint is the bare PCB of the internal module. On one of my computer cases, this comes close to metal contact of some pretty important solder points. Little electrical tape fixes that right up and prevents a short but I would like to see a cover for this device. This is a nearly perfect device. If Silverstone fixes those few small flaws, this is a 5 star product. I'd still recommend it if your use case demands your PC have a wireless remote for startup. Just keep in mind you might have to hit the power button manually once in a while.

Tried a bunch of these from different vendors - this one (unlike others I've tried) worked flawlessly the first time - love it.

It is very nice, but u can't use it from behind any walls or from behind the PC. It works only if u klick on the remote while pointing to ur PC with it.

Al principio pensé que era un gasto innecesario, después de unos meses de uso, me doy cuenta que es demasiado útil y cómodo de usarlo, lo recomiendo ampliamente, no se arrepentirán de comprarlo.

This remote for pc arrived promptly after ordering in perfect condition in commercial packaging. This item requires a little technical savvy about pc motherboards and cases in order to install it. I have a new pc on my desktop to keep it out of the dust of my basement den which is being refurbished. When it is clean again, I'll be putting the pc on a wheeled trolley out of sight on the floor and it will be a real pain to reach the power button on the bottom edge of the case. So, I got this remote power and reset unit for fast operation without getting on the floor.
