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.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
- 6-Foot Wiring Harness: A 6-foot cable with 2-pin connectors on both ends, giving you plenty of flexibility for your setup.
- PC Power Switch Harness: Easily connect your Cube to a compatible PC power-button circuit in seconds. Turn on your gaming PC with the press of INSERT COIN or the drop of a quarter.
- Universal No-Strip Wire Connector: Quickly connect compatible wires without soldering, stripping, or crimping. Perfect for arcade controllers, fight sticks, custom electronics, and DIY projects. ***Designed for 18–24 AWG wire.*** Connections may be less reliable with thinner wires. When compatible with your wiring, these connectors provide a quick and easy installation solution.
- NEW 3 Way Lever Nuts (x2) - Added to Kit October 20, 2026: The kit now includes two 3-way lever nut connectors, allowing you to easily wire into compatible button circuits using wires as thin as 28 AWG. Simply strip the wire ends, lift the levers, insert the wires, and close the levers to secure the connection. While these connectors require wire stripping, they accommodate a wider range of wire sizes and generally provide a more reliable connection than no-strip connectors, especially with thinner wires. PLEASE NOTE: These connectors were added to the kit on October 20, 2026, and are not included with orders placed before this date.
