By utilizing existing standard 2.4GHz RF wireless technology, PCI Express X1 slot, and power/ reset pin headers on a motherboard, the ES02-PCIE kit is easy to install and use within 20 meters of a connected computer. An included Y cable ensures your computer case's own power and reset buttons can be used concurrently with the ES02-PCIE if needed. Users looking for a simpler security solution than software access control will find ES02-PCIE to be a good alternative. Those with computers located in hard to reach area or has special usage scenarios will also find the ES02-PCIE to be very handy.

I purchased this to avoid having to reach in to a confined space to turn on my computer due to the way the case had to be oriented where it sits. I had read the reviews that complained about battery life after my purchase, but it was an easy enough workaround if it became an issue. I can happily say that it did not. The original battery I placed in the remote is still kicking almost a month later. My only gripe with this device is that sometimes the remote sticks a bit and causes a longer beep tone from the speaker on the card, but that's not enough to justify taking away a star in my opinion. The speaker on the card can be disabled via a jumper and is on by default. Included manual has all the information on that. Definitely keep the included screwdriver though. That thing is tiny.

I ordered this thinking it was something that you simply plug into your PCIe slot and boom....you have a remote on and reset switch for your PC. I received it and opened it and saw pin plugs...oh my. My initial thought was just to return it but then I found my motherboard manual and found out what the power and reset pins were on my mobo. Suprisingly got it hooked up and it worked on the first shot. I was honestly expecting to have to give it a couple tries before it worked but luck was on my side.It does exactly what it says it does....it turns on my PC with the remote and performs a reset when my computer is on. The instruction/installation manual doesn't really help that much other than to tell you what the process is. You will need to find the manual for your motherboard and find out what pins you need to stick the power and reset plugs on. This will require you to disconnect the power button on your case (at the motherboard) and you will only have the remote to power your PC on with. I gave it 4 rather than 5 stars because the listing doesn't mention much about the not-so-straightforward installation process. If all you know how to do is turn on your PC, then you probably wont want to attempt to install this yourself. It will require some advanced knowledge or finding help from someone with the skills to install this.

if your PC is tucked away under a desk or hard to reach. this is a game changer.works great and have no coplaints over function. the motherboard headers come with spliters built in so you can still use the power switch on the case.1 complaint. it seems like the battery in the remote drains reguardless of use. i have to replace mines battery every couple months. would be nice if tools werent required to replace the battery.the tools are included however.

Relatively easy to install, works perfectly well. A small screwdriver to open the remote and install the battery is included.Tip: By default the card beeps when pressing a button, which can be annoying. This beep can be disabled by moving a jumper on the card (see instruction sheet). If you’ve decided in advance you don’t want to hear this beep, move the jumper before you install the card, otherwise you’ll need to lift the card out of the PCIe slot to do so.

Update 2: I just had to change the battery after minimal use after like two weeks. Why didn't you just put a AA battery in or something that lasts longer if it's so power-consuming? Make the remote bigger if you have to. It doesn't have to be tiny. It's a pain and expensive to replace the battery so often. Also, why not include a NORMAL screw like a Philips screw?Update: The warnings about the battery were true. Only using this device a couple of months and the battery is flat dead (keep in mind it's just a short radio wave blast to turn on the PC. I use Windows to shut it down). Ridiculous battery life.Luckily, they included a tiny star screwdriver to change the battery.Sigh...Original Review:I moved my PC tower to a secluded section of my closet because my computer is loud. I built an enclosure around it so contorting my body to turn it on each night was out of the question. I got this remote control and it's AWESOME. I'm cautiously optimistic given the other reviews about the battery life but fortunately I have some on hand.Gripe: Don't put a screw to hold the battery cover on. It's a pain to remove. Especially since it's a star type instead of a normal screwdriver. Fortunately, they included the star screw driver, otherwise there would be a lot of slapping in this review. :o)I'll update the review if anything changes, but for now, it works!Some hopefully helpful notes: You can find your motherboard manual online. When plugging in the device's power cables to the motherboard, line up the little triangle symbols (triangle = power, the other one is ground). If there is already a power cable plugged into the pins on the motherboard, don't panic, that's what that little offshoot connector is for (I didn't have this issue on the reset cable, only the power one). Just plug the existing power cable into the offshoot cable on the device wire, and then plug that wire into the motherboard. Voila!!

With this I leave my computer in the basement and connect to my TV on the main floor - works flawlessly. The instructions are brutal. You need to pair the remote with the device by pressing the button on the card and the remote.

Purchased over a year ago and finally put it to use. Just built a new Ryzen system and this is my bedroom computer. So the remote allows me to turn the computer on without running around the room to the PC itself. Only connected the POWER SWITCH and not the RESET.Very easy to install. Instructions are lacking some possible info for those individuals new to creating systems.Cons: Remote is the size of your car remote...thinking it might take me longer to find the remote in the bed than running around to the PC.Note: Would not work on an older MB which did not have standby power to PCIe slots when off.

my tv an computer are across the room from where I sit, everything I do runs through the computer, watch tv, movies ect. I get up in the morning sit down in chair with coffee ect. an turn on tv, rats, have to get up an turn on computer, problem solved, took 10 minutes to install an works perfectly, sit in chair turn on tv, pick up remote an turn on computer, outstanding, hope it holds up because its great, thanks Silverstone. I purchased the first one in jan. 2019, it is still working great, recently added another computer to the living room, ordered another eso2-pcie control, it works great, was wondering if the remotes would turn on both computers, they did not, one turns on one an the other turns on the other they do not conflict with each other an the computers are only 5 feet apart, I don't know if I was lucky or if is by design but works great, thanks guys.
