Need help finding a power supply for my KK S88 mk2 keyboard that I brought from the US to the UK
I don't have the original power supply from the US. I'm struggling to find compatible power supplies and I don't know if I need to get anything special since it was made in the US and the voltage is different in the UK. On the back of the keyboard, it says 15v 1.2a. I believe the model is from either 2019 or 2020.
