Is it a 2 or 3 prong male? If 3, will it still be fully functional if I plug it into a 3-way adapter receptical that uses a 2 prong plugin?

It is a 3 prong male setup, with the ground prong folding seperately and in the opposite direction from the hot blades of the adapter. I suppose you could even just leave the ground prong folded if you chose, and use this as a two prong adapter.I doubt if the transformers would be affected, but can't say from experience. Anything you plugged into this device while the ground plug was folded would not be grounded at all.

It has a 3 prong male end that can fold into it making it better for travel (all three fold out at the same time so it can't be folded into a 2 prong). Just tried it with the adapter of a 3 to 2 and I am able to charge my phone!

It's a 3-prong male. The prongs fold into the back of the case, but I don't believe there is a way to pull out only the 2 prongs and leave the 3rd hidden.I haven't tried to only plug in only the top 2, but whenever I fold out the prongs, they appear to be attached to each other in some way as the top 2 won't fully extend if the 3rd one doesn't extend as well.Hope that helps!

Protected light comes on even when using that adapter. Don't know if it's still protected though using that adapter.

It is a 3 prong connection. Plugging into a 2 prong adapter may defeat the purpose of the surge protection

I assume that you're referring to the plug on the AC power adapter. That 2-prong AC plug fits any standard household 110 VAC power socket right out of the box... it doesn't need the 3rd (grounding) pin that you see on most AC power plugs nowadays. And, you can plug it in either way - it doesn't matter. Enjoy your keyboard.

It has a 2-prong plug but you can use an adapter with it if that is a problem.

It has a regular 3-prong plug. We plugged it right into a regular wall outlet. Runs very well. Very efficient. Highly recommend this item

First one I ordered was 3-prong and it stopped working about 2 weeks after I got it. The second one I ordered (same link and everything) through a different seller, was 2-prong :/

It is a three prong unit. It plugs into a standard outlet. Keep the ground and don't use an adapter in my opinion.

3, bought this 2 weeks ago thinking it was an adabter. It's not, 3 prongs go into the wall and give you more outlets

3 Prong, it's extremely short.. So make sure you plan for 8 extension cords. It's probably 2ft or shorter.

The lamp has 2 prongs. It's totally OK to plug it into a 3 prong strip. If an electrical appliance is all plastic on the outside, you don't get a third prong. You don't need it. You get everything you need with just 2-prongs, even if you plug into a 3-prong strip. Not to worry.The folks that let you tie into great big power sources do try to keep you out of trouble. If you can plug something in, without cheating, it's ok, go for it.

It has a three pronged plug... I would recommend you use it on a grounded outlet.

I am using a 3-prong into a 2-prong adapter in my electricity 2-prong outlet. I have 4.50 amps. If you are in another country besides the United States, you would have a different outlet.

I tried plugging it into a two prong adapter, and then plugged the two prong into my outlet. My outlet is grounded since it is a 3 prong outlet, but not sure that would matter since two prong adapter doesn't have a ground plug. Anyway, that worked with no issues.

It has both three-pronged input and plugs to go into the wall socket, and my rudimentary understanding of current Code standards is that the third prong is the grounding plug, but "fully grounded" is a function of how well your wall socket is grounded -- in other words, if you plug a three-pronged plug into a three-pronged wall socket, but the wall socket is not properly grounded, whatever device you have plugged in is not "fully grounded".

both of the ones I have are 2 prong plugs (but I am using them connected to 3prong timers - I would suggest getting 3 prong timers as you may find yourself using them for other things also...)

It does not have 3 prong plug. How do I know if its UL listed? What does that mean?
