Default How many USB ports needed and supported? (PS2 to USB adaptersin the rear ports = mouse pauses)

As long as they are PS2 and not USB, that is. Otherwise USB to PS2 adapters
would be recommended where needed. Keyboards can be a little ornery so read
the specs closely.


Recently, I got one of those PS2 to USB adapter for my two years(?) old
eMachines generic PS2 three-buttons+scroll mouse because my new
motherboard only has a PS2 keyboard port (no mouse!). I still use an old
four-ports KVM switch box from Y2K (yep a decade old) to share with
other PCs. However, my mouse likes to pause a lot with the rear USB
ports, but none in the front ports.

Any ideas why? Thank you in advance.
