Well, I got mine, and it's grat. Easy to use, automatic connection, nice looking, fits right in my center console. All in all, I love it.
Except: the AC charger takes wall current, and puts out 8 volts at 500 milliamps! Why such a ridiculous voltage!!! Why 8 volts!!! I can get a regulated steady 5 volts from my carPC power supply, and I can get a regulated 12 volts. But not 8 volts!!!
I was going to tap into the carPC power supply, and cut the wall charger cord, using the plug in it to wire into the carPC power supply and chrage the keyboard when the car was on, even when the keyboard was sitting in storage in my center console. But since it takes 8 volts, I can't! What a pain in the ***! I wonder what would happen if I fed the keyboard 5 volts. Would that drain it, or charge it, or hurt it, or do nothing?
Oh well,e verything else about it is great.
