* Kontrol comes with a USB-C cable. It is bus-powered meaning the USB cable draws power directly from your computer, so there’s no need for an additional power supply. If your computer does not have a USB-C port, you can use your own USB adapter and power supply.

* Use the adapter to connect the provided USB-C cable from the keyboard’s Host port to your computer’s USB-A port. Then connect a USB-C power supply (5 V, 7.5 W or higher, 1.5 A or higher) to the keyboard’s USB-C power supply port.
