10a 125v vs 10a 250v Power Cords?

Post by Arrogant » 27 Jan 2024, 22:14

I notice a lighter mouse when using a 10a 125v plug. In fact it feels the way it's suppose to feel. In game & on the desktop. That is for both my monitor(BenQ 240Hz) & PC. My PC & monitor both have a voltage rating of 100-240V 10A, but whenever I use the 10a 250v plug my mouse gets way worse. It has the heavy sluggish feeling. Can someone test this out or tell me why this happens? I'm in New Jersey if location matters.

Is the feel permanent? The only difference between the power cords is the wire gauge size, 10A on a 250V system allows up to 2500Watts of continuous usage without deterioration "outside of its regular lifespan". However, the 10A on a 120V system only allows 1200Watts. Are we talking about the full power cord or only the plug? because you mentioned both in your post. Or are you using a step-down/up transformer?

Generally speaking, monitors like Benq, or LED/WLED monitors barely use 60 watts during their maximum operation. So I don't see how any of the gauge sizes above would make a difference. That said, one might faulty or damaged, who knows.
