And yet... On almost every new ATX motherboard, there are PS2 inputs. And barely any options at all even available for purchase for individuals with, say, more than one RJ45 port, regardless of price. I don't get just how stagnant that industry is.


A friend who works in banking said their use of PS/2 inputs are a security measure.

They can disable USB support, but still have keyboards and mice.


I don’t think that’s the case anymore. I just popped on to newegg and scrolled through their “best seller” motherboards, none of them have PS/2 ports. They’ve started to die off on enthusiast motherboards for the past few years.
