Will this little surge protector still work if it's plugged into a 2 prong adapter?

No. It is three-pronged. Which means it is a grounded plug. The third prong is for safety If you use it with an adapter, it will disable the. circuit protection and safety feature if an electrical surge comes through.

no it will not,it has a plastic 3rd bottom prong for support,it use the top ones,not for two prong outlets.

I have found that the Powerline Adaptors do not like some surge protectors, specifically active ones, like a UPS. The adaptor will certainly not work when the UPS is operating during a power outage or brown out. In general direct is best, and since the adaptors drarw very little power, line surges/spikes should not be an issue.

This power strip has minor surge protection. I would not depend on this to protect anything important. I've used it plugged into another surge protector and then used the ends to plug the wall warts for things like my cell phone, tablet, and laptop which don't all like to plug into normal power strips so easily. This is good for devices that have fat wall wart transformers.

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.

Yes it is perfectly safe to use the adapter as you are using only 2.7 amps. I would groung the plug to be safe but everything would be ok.

No. Even with a plug adapter, the surge protector part is a problem. I have blown circuits and adapters this way. First, I blew the adapter in India. Then, I plugged it in at the airport lounge in the U.S. and killed that entire circuit. Guilty.

That's what I am doing. No problems till now. It also depends on the quality of extension cord and what else you are connecting to it (if using an extension board with more than 1 plug points. I am using an extension board made for computers, with surge protection.

This wiil work with a 2 prong, non-grounded plug. I do not believe it will work with a 3 prong grounded plug. It will work if the ground prong is removed but then you have a safety issue.

It will work as long as the entire circuit is behind the surge protector, which it would be for a WHSP. In terms of best performance, you'd like both adapters on the same leg of a power circuit (no circuit breakers in between).

No. As long as your devices are plugged into the surge protector it shouldn't matter what is between your surge protector and the power coming into the house.

No, a surge protector should never be plugged into another surge protector.

The plug-in is about 3 inches long and about 1 inch wide. If you can't plug it in on an end, it will probably cover 2 or 3 other plugs. My surge suppressor has slots that are sideways, so it is not an issue.

No. A 2-prong plug works just fine in this unit. My phone and iPad chargers are both 2-pronged, and they work perfectly with this power strip.

Yes, the unit must be plugged in directly rather than through any kind of filter; the surge protector is a kind of filter. The Linksys AV2 works much better that a previous powerline adapter that I used.

There are about 2" of clearance inside the unit to give you an idea. I think it will depend on how stiff the cord you're plugging into the adapter is. For example, a typical lamp cord is pretty flexible and I would guess will fit fine with a typical adapter. However, a stiff, straight plug like those found in a lot of surge protectors definitely will not fit with an adapter.

Yes, eventually. Surge protectors work by shunting voltage spikes to ground through an MOV. Eventually the metal oxide varistor fails, usually by burning open or shorting. At that point the device needs to be replaced.
