How you all deal with this?

No! You place those tiny wires on those tiny posts and you like it!
My motherboard came with an handy in-between header. With clearly noted what should go at what place.
Still it’s an eye sore on the motherboard.
Those wires that come in from the side then make an 180 deg. Turn towards the motherboard.
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
I use a head lamp, glasses, and tweezers. Godspeed.
I don’t see a problem
Bunch of people in these comments with tiny ass hands.
Seriously, they need to standardize the pin layout and make it a single block
Yeah for real this NEEDS to change, they came up with this on like the 1st pc ever made and just stuck with it forever without any advancements or optimizing, I legitimately hate these pins with all my heart n soul.
Once you have the order down, tape them together with a strip of electrical tape, and plug it in all at once.
This is part of the rite of passage for anybody building their own PC. Just like cable management and getting that cut on your finger that you ‘think’ you got installing the fans, but could genuinely be from just touching the inside of the case the wrong way.
just “front panel” connector. at least my case has it
You think it’s bad now? Just wait until you get older!
At least it’s old. M.2 didn’t become common until the 2010’s and a microscopic screw was their next gen solution.
I’m not saying they couldn’t be better, but this isn’t that difficult either.
Is there a reason why those can’t be just one connector? Or why can’t they bundle them in to one plug?
All these comments and Noone addresses the fact that cases these days come with one solid connector? Stop buying shitty cases. Lian Li, NZXT, Corsair, etc. Multiple models of cases with one connector. Hell, my $69 Lian Li A3 comes with one.
My case had a single plug for the whole thing ant it worked just fine
To anyone who don’t understand you can wire that shit to be outside your desktop like lamps and relays and shit to automate reboots and increase reliability for example
Why this is used in motherboards that are used in desktops that will never see any hardware automation is beyond me though
NZXT has a plug in the pin layout only what is circled in red. Probably the best we’re gonna get so far.

My small button powers my pc now. The case is too small to change it. When I plugged it in, I cut my hand and painted it with blood.
There are so few companies that give a fuck about those , but there are a few lol
