More power for the USBc KVM

I have 100w 19v laptop adapters laying around, but because of their weird barrel plug none of them match. Has anyone else upgraded their power adapter for the USBc KVM? The description says the KVM can accept up to 100w… which is exactly what my laptop wants.

Edit* Power brick that ships with the USBc KVM as of 10/2023 is actually 120w :slight_smile:

120w

The combo kvms ship with 120w, works fine

Ah, my mistake - Never looked at the power brick and was reading off the item description (copied below). Armoury crate was crying that the supplied power may not be enough and instead of verifying the brick I went looking for a way to give it more beans.

I’m guessing Asus has some chipset in their bricks and if anything offbrand is detected it kicks out an error then. Setting ye olde laptop to “performance” and running a benchmark, the most I got it to draw was 55w anyway.

“The included power brick is auto-sensing 100-240 volts, 70 watts output, 19-21 volts DC, center positive.”
