Hi, Have been looking at this console [https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8842071 in Argos] but am a bit confused by this bit:
A compatible USB AC adaptor (not included) that supports 5V, 1.0 A USB (Type A) output is required to use this console.

I did a bit of Googling and have kind of figured out that the console needs to be powered by USB rather than a plug socket? So it would need to be plugged into a computer to work? Have I got that right?
I'd really appreciate any help anyone could give as I'm confused!
TIA

Link fail and a hopeful bump.

No, you could use the plug in bit from your phone charger as it will have a usb socket

You just use a iphone style charger to plug it in. Amazon are selling a usb cable if you havent got a charger that I think are around £6. I have bought one for dh and this cable business had me confused as well.

It's this sort of thing you need. This one is a Samsung one that came with my phone

Do you not plug it into the usb port in back of your tele?

You connect it to the tv but the power cable itself is a usb one so to power it you need a plug like the one shown
