kontrol s61 mk3 power supply

pre ordered my Kontrol S61 Mk3 keys, but wanting to get ahead here, and as I don't have usb C on my PC (but have adapter cable) , Im concerned is power supply. Will NI be selling a compatible usb C power supply ? alternatively can someone cleverer than me point me in the right direction of which usb C power supply to buy to get me up and running at full power for when it arrives

Requirements are rather low , this is what it says :
Kontrol comes with a USB-C cable. It is bus-powered meaning the USB cable draws power directly from your computer, so there’s no need for an additional power supply. If your computer does not have a USB-C port, you can use your own USB adapter and power supply.
Use the adapter to connect the provided USB-C cable from the keyboard’s HOST port to your computer’s USB-A port. Then connect a USB-C power supply (5V, 7.5W or higher, 1.5A or higher) to the keyboard’s USB-C power supply port.
Check the manual for more information.
---------------------------------------------------------
Power adapters with USB C PD (power delivery) often are capable of delivering much more power since some of them are also directed at powering other 'mobile' units !

@CHRIS HUME Some Knowledge Base articles about that are on their way. In the meantime, These are the PSU specs you need: A USB-C power supply (5 V, 7.5 W or higher, 1.5 A or higher) with its own USB-C cable.
It goes into the power socket in the wall - and the USB-C cable goes into the "Power" socket of the keyboard.If his computer doesn't have a USB-C port, you'll need a USB cable C-A to connect the keyboard (C) with the computer (A). You have to make sure that the cable can transfer data - and is not only transmitting power.

seems a bit stupid launching an all singing and dancing product then we got to wait for a power supply !!
My keyboard arrived yesterday set it up all excited and....................... (see below)
sorry but all this 5 V, 7.5 W or higher, 1.5 A or higher doesn't mean anything to a thicko like me - just point me to a suitable power supply I can get from amazon UK that will work- I want to delve into my new gear but looks like I gotta wait
