Replacement Headset Power Adapter for the Valve Index

[ye Shivers]

I moved recently and in the chaos, I misplaced my Headset Power Adapter for the Valve Index. I was going to purchase a universal ac/dc adapter online but I do not know what wattage I should purchase. Does anyone know what wattage I should purchase for a replacement adapter? This is what I'm replacing: https://i.imgur.com/I4XjCCF.png

No, to je pravda

For anyone else that may have this problem, the answer is 12v 2 amp 3.5mm x 1.35mm connector.

This is incorrect. Its actually a 12V 2.5A. I've confirm this on the back of my power adapter to my Valve Index HMD.

Not 2 amp.

If you ever need help, don't ask, just post the wrong answer.

Does anyone have a definitive answer about this? I lost my power supply.

How much more definite than reading it straight from the power supply itself do you need?

I just recently had the same issue. ye Shivers, would you mind sharing what you ended up purchasing and how it's working out for you?

I ended up reaching out to Steam support and they sent me a replacement.

how long did it take to receive your replacement?

Worst case look up the "Belker 36W Universal" as you can achieve the following 12v 2.5 amp safely with a 3.5mm x 1.35mm connector.

They kept sending me base station power supplies

[TakaChairSama]

Is it AC or DC?

[DocNiemand]

How did you 'reach out to them'. I've tried multiple avenues to no avail, 8 months with a $1000 paperweight.

Hey I just stumbled across this and am having some difficulty finding the appropriate adapter with a 3.5 x 1.35 connector.

Could you elaborate on this a little bit? From my very limited knowledge of currents and voltage I assumed that anything over 12v would have the potential to overheat and damage the headset. Do the different sizes of connectors in some way inhibit the maximum voltage that the adapter outputs?

If so, as a followup: I have a 20v adapter to usb for my macbook and actually managed to find a usb to connector that fits the index slot from a random appliance I had. Could I simply combine those? I would have tried this already if I wasn’t afraid of damaging my index.

Thanks in advance!

Also the polarity has to match, not just the volts/amps
