Corsair 275R Airflow Case - Ridiculous design flaw - UPDATED with solution!!!

[Guest]

Directly to the right of the two top front mounted USB ports is the Reset button.

My case is under my desk.

 

I reach down to plug in or unplug a USB and welp! My knuckle hits the reset button.

 

Why corsair.... why??????

 

My only option is to unplug the little reset connector on the motherboard.

Or slowly look for the usb device and remove it, and be careful

Yeah it's bad design but i see no issue in unplugging the reset. I've actually never used it since i have had a PC. You can still just hold your power button if the system is non responsive and needs a hard-shutdown.

Yeah that might work, but you'll have to cut into that case to fit them without falling

Nah dude they are self adhesive, it'll stick right over the reset button and allow me to slide it across when I actually need to reset

even less than 5 bucks, I am pretty sure I might even have one of these in a box somewhere. I could also potentially 3D print one
