I updated my post to include the power adapter for my steam deck. It allows 100-240v 50-60hz so I shouldn’t need a converter, but just an adapter.
Comment on Can someone help me determine what power outlet adapter I need in the Philippines?

They have the three types of plugs, but all have 220-240V.
If you’re from Europe or UK, you should be fine, but you might need an adapter.
If you’re from North America. You’ll definitely need a power converter and adapter, no matter what type of outlet.

Most USB chargers convert the voltage automatically. You only need an adapter. But for things like a hairdryer for example, you might need the converter.

That’s good to know, thanks!

That’s exactly the one I used in the Philippines (and many other countries), it’s a Swiss brand with excellent built quality and overcharge protection, unlike many of the no name China things you find on Amazon. It’s compatible with all plug types from A through G, and with the 2 USB sockets you can actually charge 3 devices at once.

Thanks for the reply! That is definitely a little pricey, but if the build quality is good then it will be worth it.

You can definitely go for a cheaper one if it’s a single use occasion for you, I’ve just been traveling around a lot over the years - mostly for work - and had some unbranded thing before that broke after a few uses.

Tons of devices are 100-240v, needing a voltage converter is rare. A physical adapter is typically all that’s needed. Check the specs on the device.
