Turn your Insert Coin Cube Gen 2 into a working power button for your PC, physical button for arcade machines, or control other custom electronics! This wiring kit lets you connect your Cube directly to devices, replacing or adding a physical button without relying on USB. Drop in a coin to power on your gaming PC, add real credits to your arcade cabinet, press INSERT COIN to trigger your Arduino project. The possibilities are nearly endless!
Go Beyond USB. While the Cube’s USB keyboard emulation is great for controlling computers, many devices require a physical button connection instead. This kit lets you use your Insert Coin Cube Gen 2 with compatible equipment that doesn’t support USB keyboard controls, even turn on your PC when it’s completely shut down!
Easy Installation, Everything You Need! We’ve made connecting your Cube to other devices simple, even if you’re new to electronics!

With the included adapters and easy-connect wiring accessories, many projects require no soldering, wire stripping, or crimping!
