USB button or something similar? 1

[mtktech]

I'm working on a project which a macro needs to be tied to a single button. I would like something I can mount on a wall or desk. The macro restarts a PC and runs a series of commands. Does anyone know of such a product? I currently have the macro tied to the F1 key on a keboard, I would like to completely hide the computer, keyboard and mouse and only have the button assesible.

Thanks for your help!

How about the reset button?

I want to hide the computer, it will be behind a wall.

sounds kinda funky.. can't you just hide the keyboard as well, apart from the 1 button you'll be needing, or make an extension of the keyboard button. It's time to invent something!

How about this?

I remember reading about it a while back... from what I understand while it's primary purpose is to be a volume control you can program it to react outside of normal media programs.

Perfect Wooglin! It's a bit more then what I need but the price is right and it sounds like its very durable. It will look really cool also.

Thanks for the find!

So? (behind a wall) run a cable from where you want the button to the computer, Duh!

Yeah... I have a griffin powermate... I *LOVE* that thing... FULLY programmable... it knows what program is in the foreground, so it can be used when you have multiple applications running!
