My g27 power adapter failed again..

I have had 2 g27s fail on me, both being the power adapter.
I ordered one online and it came today but the specs of the adapter/power brick where different from the description.
Heres the specs of the ordered one.
input 100-240v ~ 1.9A
output 24v 2.5A.

Silly question really, if the previous adapters output is 1.75A, would using a output of 2.5A do any harm? i was "assured" that the adapter i got would fit and power a g27. Off course, it fits and would power it! but would it power on for a lengthy period of time without blowing the g27 up?

I saying to myself no....but i would like to make sure before i purchase another one.

Thanks
Marc

Higher amps is a good thing. Its a stronger powersupply than your last one.

thanks

so it would be fine to use it?
I want to be sure because i dont want another broken wheel.

If its the same voltage then it is ok to use.

The more ampage a psu can supply the better it is. The best example i can think of is Radio controlled car batteries. Same voltage, but with higher rated batteries, the run time is greater.

Your G27 will be fine.

Plugged it in but no luck

seems the actual wheel is faulty. Contacted logitech already
