What plug/voltage/hertz does an Ouya use?

Solution 1:

According to this thread on an Ouya-related message board, it comes with a US-style cord (A-type plug) but can handle both 110v and 220v. Relevant quote below

This isn't really that huge of an issue but I see many of the devs complaining that the consoles were shipping only with US plugs. Although the consoles work with either 110 or 220 volts, they still require you purchase an additional country adapter in or to use it.

Solution 2:

I finally got my OUYA in Switzerland, and it has an (exachangeable) Europlug just as it should have here. To be more precise, here's a photo:

OUYA plug and adapter

As you can see the Europlug is a small piece that get slipped onto the adaptor, andso I assume that wherever you order your OUYA to, the respective plug piece will be included. Of course if you live somewhere with a rather exotic standard you'll have ask OUYA support or just let them surprise you...

edit In reply to @JoeWresching's question about the other side of the plug, it's 12 volt DC via Coaxial power connector (OD 5.50mm, ID 2.50mm, Center Positive) (as per OUYA's Wikipedia entry), so you can probably replace it by your own adaptor if preferred (with the usual warranty void disclaimer).

This is the adaptor's text:

So with 100-240 V at 50-60 Hz input you should be fine. If you use your own adaptor instead, supply 12 V DC and 1.5 A.

Solution 3:

Sounds like the ones shipping out now all have the US plug, regardless of region but the first post there says the console works with 110 or 220 volts. You'll just need an adapter for whatever plug your region uses. But this is the first, kickstarted production run so that may well change.
