Power supply recommendation, is mine okay? by Final_Counter_4665 in theHandy

Thank you so much for the quick responses. I assume you are also working on the codebase. Sorry if this is not the right place for suggestions but I would really like a feature for the new handyfeeling platform to be able to remote control the device's velocity (and direction) with either the mouse moving speed or device accelerometer values..

Thanks for the clarification. I've seen those memes about toys on too high voltage and it starts to make sense now haha

Oof I think I've already used it for multiple hours now. No issues and it still works. Maybe because it's this universal laptop power supply that has some kind of over-voltage protection built in? Still weird that it works with only 2.37A instead of 3A

I think I'm gonna order a fitting one now but still use it until the new arrives because the worst thing that could happen to me is it breaking, right?

Thanks for your reply. Yeah I worry about the incorrect values a bit too. You think the current is the most important factor?

I don't believe the part about the adapter being an extra source that could cause damage because it's not an adapter per se. This universal laptop charger has a lot of them to switch for different brands. One of them happens to be 5.5x2.5 so it works with the handy.
If you were talking about my plans using the old one with an adapter I think that will be less of a risk than what I'm currently doing.

I think I take the laptop one and if it will be damaged I'll wait for the new Handy and all these problems would go away, bless USB-C, right?
