      Is there a reset switch for the Rasp Pi3. I saw one that you have to solder onto the board, but I would enjoy one that simply plugs into the board. There have been a few games that freeze or will not let you out of the game without unplugging the boards power source.

        @doctorstork I made my own by buying a PCB momentary switch and then soldering a couple breadboard cables to it and then other ends just plug into pins 5 and 6.
        by default it acts as a power on button but you can write a simple python script to have it reboot or poweroff the pi if needed.

          I ordered this inexpensive power supply the other day that has a switch on it. It's close to what you are looking for I think.
