PS/2 has lower latency than USB
What would be the benefit of this in $CURRENT_YEAR?

This & it was reliable.

I have a keyboard that uses ps/2. It's nice and I get an extra USB port because of it but it has the problem in that every few months the cable falls out and I have to reboot my computer to make the keyboard work again. This is because ps/2 doesn't support hot swapping. I guess that's just the trade off you make by using it.

So, when are you going back to cuckchan? Or any other site?

I just bought brand new motherboards with a brand new chipset and it still has these fucking ports.
I assumed it's because chinks and shit countries are still using these.
i wasn't aware of this.

this also says usb has a limit of 6 key keys that can be down at any one time, while ps/2 has no limit. usb keyboards that want to detect more than 6 keys down at a time have to play games and pretend to be multiple keyboards.

It largely depends on how the USB is handled. Modern USB 3 is over PCIe IIRC and has a direct path to the CPU eliminating such latencies

wait, really? I guess u mean original playstation? cause the PS2 (the console), PS3, and PS4 don't use these.
*giggles*
really? I heard it won't detect it if you try to plug it in while the computer is on, but I didn't know it could brick your system!
scary
meanie!
oh cool! That sounds like a really nice advantage, as does
t-they don't like me over there! ;_;

My keyboard has the superior DIN-5 connector. Have to use adaptors these days.
Levi Cruz
should be good for vr then

USB relies on polling to interact with its connected devices and answer their requests.
PS/2 on the other hand has a dedicated interrupt that gains almost immediate attention from the CPU when you press any key; it raises a high priority interrupt flag on CPU (IRQ1), only behind the system timer (IRQ0).
