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.

I realise this is to be expected but sitting at the piano the screens are always viewed at quite a shallow angle. I was wondering if the Mk3 screens have improved…

Does the S88 MK2 emit rf interference like the MK1?
Hello, I've been thinking of returning to using an S88 controller after re-formatting all my sample libraries to work with NKS.

Can the S88 MK2 be bus-powered over USB-C?
Hey! Is it possible to run the S88 MK2 on bus-power when connected through a USB-C to USB-B cable? If so, is there a specific brand of cable I should buy?
