Custom switch - how to connect/solder?

From the page linked above...
This is a bare switch only and will need wiring to be able to use. Instructions are included.

Did your switch come with said instructions? Did you lose them?
Either way you probably want to contact the vendor and ask for a copy/scan.

You are looking for a "pinout" that will tell you what the terminals on the switch actually do.
The switch appears to have 6 terminals but you most likely only need 4 of them.
2 for the switch itself and another 2 for the LED. Keep in mind the LED has + and - that need to be connected to the proper pins on the mobo and the switch. The switch pins can be hooked up either way, it doesn't matter.

The cables are no different than normal front panel wires. In fact your best bet is to just cut them out of an old case.
Or. just buy these from the same site...

I contacted the site. They just told me to buy their regular wires (0.10$ a foot).

But then, I found the item in your link and sent it back to them.

I then bought it and hope to get it working soon.
