Re: Poly Evolver Keyboard Power Source Question

2010-05-11 by deepestdarkestfunk

While I'm not an electronics wiz, I can tell you that in most cases, a slightly overrated power source is usually not a problem.  The device will only draw the current it requires.  If you don't give it enough juice, that's BAD, but more amperage (within reason) than you can use at the correct voltage shouldn't be a problem.  2000mA supply for a 1300mA device should be fine.  

$0.02
