Short summery of its features:


- Universal input, so it can tolerate any input voltage automatically.
- Professionally designed, no datasheet copy-paste circuits. Using premium quality parts and best engineering design approaches. This wasn’t built for budget but rather perfection.
- Very low noise, less than 30mV p-p at full load inside console (not an outside resistive load).
- Low heat generation, way much better thermals than all other solutions.
- Plug-and-play, so no soldering, modding, cutting, or anything.
- Medically rated, extremely safe power module used which guarantees utmost safety and performance.
- High power, rated for 30 watts which is 8 watts more than original PSU which is more than enough for any mods you can think of.

this is now a REV 2, please check the differences in website page.

I hope you like it!

Hello.
It seems spectacular to me, but a bit expensive.
Has anyone from the forum bought it? Anyone who can comment?

I have used it a bit. I would say it's well-assembled.

A minor point is that I had it forcefully compacted in storage, and it bent the power connector at the rear of the unit. It should be OK under normal use. Just follow the sensible advice of being gentle with it out of box, and during installation. Shouldn't have to force these kinds of things.

I just received mine today and the one I got had the power connector already bent in its packaging.

Guys, please go with the USB-C PSU by Robot_Retro as found on eBay. Not selling his product or anything, but just giving my personal review on it - it’s fantastic. Well built, sturdy and functions perfectly. No issues.

I really like the low noise of this PSU.
Should be good for stability.
It's a bit pricey though.
Will be keeping an eye on it.

EDIT: What happened to your discord?
Ans any idea when they will be in stock again?
