So, recently i have been curious about the process of how a computer case on button is created. After some research i have found limited information, could anyone help? 

Those buttons are called "momentary switches".

Simply put, there are two wires going out of the button and pushing the button will allow for electricity to go through it.

 

These buttons are the same idea as for example buttons on a game controller, or a TV remote, or elevator, etc. as these all need to do something: allow current to flow through when the user is pressing it down.

Because of this varied use, there are a lot of different ways a switch like this can be created, so there is no one single way they are made.

Well there is cables from it going to the pins on the board and gives power / shorts, that is also something you can do without a button take a screwdriver and short the pwr pins

Reminder⚠️

I'm just speaking from experience so what I say may not work 100%

Please try searching up the answer before you post here but I am always glad to help
