PC users with cases tucked under desks or inside racks often struggle to reach physical controls. Ainex addresses this friction with the DTE-04, a wired remote designed to bridge that gap. This device matters because it restores convenient access to power and reset functions without requiring users to move their hardware.
Mechanical switches and branch adapter included for 13 dollar price
The DTE-04 functions as a wired extension for standard PC case buttons. Ainex engineered the unit to mimic the tactile feedback of mechanical keyboard switches. This design choice ensures that users receive the same physical response they expect from their primary input devices.
Specifications
- Cable Length: 2m
- Dimensions: 31mm (W) x 65mm (D) x 29mm (H)
- Switch Type: Mechanical
- Color: Black
- Price: 1,980-2,200 JPY (around $13.59)
The remote features a 2-meter cable that connects directly to the computer. The unit measures 31mm in width, 65mm in depth, and 29mm in height. Ainex finished the device in a standard black color to blend with typical PC builds.
The device includes dedicated power and reset buttons with independent LED indicators. It also supports HDD activity lighting to reflect drive status. Ainex includes a branch adapter so users can keep their case buttons functional while using the remote.
Ainex plans to release the DTE-04 in Japan starting July 8, 2026. The market price ranges from 1,980 to 2,200 JPY (around $13.59), which is around $13 to $15. This pricing positions the remote as an affordable accessory for specific desktop configurations.
