New
default mechnical button that comes with all packages.
It connects to the F_PANEL, as well as 5v RGB header and its lighting can be controlled by RGB software.
The slide/touch button has been removed and will be sold separately as an accessory.
Reasons for this change are as follows:
1) The power button requires a USB 2.0 connection, the 2.0 port might be occupied by pre-exsiting hardware of the customer. The USB 2.0 connection is used to power the chip on the slide/touch power button.
2) Some motherboard requires additional BIOS settings to make the power button work, known cases are MSI motherboards and some ASRock motherboards, where you have to enable USB awake.
3) The power button should be straightforward, and should be the last item that causes inconvenience to the customer. However, the current slide/touch button has failed for both aspects. Even though it is a small number of customers experiencing this issue, it does not mean that it should be ignored.
4) Due to the fact that the slide/touch button has a built-in chip, it is more "fragile" than normal buttons, and some customers have accidentally damaged it during installation. There are also cases where buttons arrived broken, possibly due to rough handling of the packages by logistics courier.
