Why the fuck do we still have this piece of trash. I see no real reason to have it or use it so why do motherboard manufacturers insist on adding it to their keyboards.
>Only one is put on motherboards That's not true. Even several "gamer" models have both ports.
>Why the fuck do we still have this piece of trash. >I see no real reason to have it or use it so why do motherboard manufacturers insist on adding it to their keyboards. Because not everybody wants to throw away his PS/2 keyboard. Because backwards compatibility. Because you'll be glad to be able to plug in a keyboard the day your USB ports fail to initialize for one reason or another.

Hello there, Zoomer. Shouldn't you be playing Fortnite and partaking in the GPU wars? I heard Nvidia is the winning team, go Nvidia!

PS/2 has VERY good purposes for existing. For one, it gives faster response times because it literally sends an interrupt to the CPU. Therefore, it's better for gaymurs or really anyone who likes super-responsive keyboard input. Furthermore, it's a great security feature. I have heard of server admins who will disable all the USB ports on their systems in BIOS and then use a PS/2 keeb if they ever need to directly connect to the machine (and not just ssh). Doing this means that people can get keyboard input to the system without also opening it up to the threat of someone shoving a malicious USB drive into it. Lastly, I have heard some people find it useful for rescuing damaged/corrupted systems. I remember hearing that someone had a BIOS screen that wouldn't recognize USB keyboards because of an issue, but it certainly understood PS/2. It's the safe backup option for when SHTF.

USB keyboards are pretty much all literal botnet

>put on motherboards I just bought a new MB and there is a PS2 slot. Why is this trash still there?
Shut up, newfag. PS/2 is still widely used in enterprise applications for a myriad of reasons. No one cares if some /v/toddler doesn't know what it's for. Now go back, fucker.
Are you fucking stupid? Are seriously telling manufacturers to remove useful ports for no fucking reason when they cost nothing to add? This right here is why this board utterly despises /v/edditors. Filthy and dumb, /v/tard scum.

aren't those post just emulated PS/2 ports?

Can USB do n-key rollover yet?

No

Funny. Too bad it hasn't been true for about ten years.

/v/tards shill for PS/2 because muh input lag you retard
Jaxon Walker
Bad bait.
>Breaks easily Never had one break on me. >No one uses it anymore It's still used widely today >Only one is put on motherboards now so good luck using 2 pieces of equipment without an adapter Not true, Some mobos have one, most have two. Thats if any are on the motherboard >Larger and uglier than said USB But harder for dumbasses to jam in backwards and breaking the port >Tried stealing the name of the world's most soled console lol PS/2 was used years ago before Sony even made a console

Thanks doc

anybody who uses legacy shit like ps/2 are just hipsters or people still using old outdated computers
Nicholas Bailey
i have usb disabled in the bios, one because i have no use for it (ps2 keyboard and usb to ps2 converter on my old logitech mouse), two because my first experience with it many years back has been unstable but that was probably VIAs fault
Luke Allen
If I connect my USB-keyboard though a PS2 adapter. How does the PC handle that? will it work just like a normal PS2 keyboard?

>Because you'll be glad to be able to plug in a keyboard the day your USB ports fail to initialize for one reason or another.
Actually happened to me when my registry got corrupted and windows failed to load the USB drivers in recovery mode.
Logan Moore
It uses hardware interrupt and is n-key rollover. Are you kidding me nigger? PS/2 is FAR superior to USBallsack.

One time, I killed all my usb ports while trying to install a driver for my ps3 controller. Had a spare ps/2 keyboard, so I used it to uninstall the driver and fix the ports. Good times.

PS/2 doesn't crash your system, idiot. You can unplug it and plug it back in normally.
