Quite a disadvantage if one is using a USB mouse or keyboard.


That's why insert_diety invented PS/2!


Have you seen a recent motherboard that has it?


The ASUS X99-AII has a twinned P/S2 socket

Ayep. You'll notice it has a single ps/2 port available. For
mouse or keyboard, not both.


Don't quote me, but I think those PS/2 ports that are half
green/half purple can cope with a 'Y' splitter


Indeed. As the rest of my post mentioned:

Ayep. You'll notice it has a single ps/2 port available. For mouse or
keyboard, not both. Short of using one of those adapters that may/may
not work. Instead of the previous standard of two. One for each...ps/2
is on it's way out, in favor of USB. It has been for quite sometime.
Give it a few more years, boards won't even include the single port
anymore, of those that still do.

And to me, PS/2 is one of the most trouble-free interfaces
in terms of drivers. Never seems to be a problem.


I've always liked ps/2 myself, but, it's on the way out in favor of USB
and has been for quite sometime. It's not uncommon to find brand new
machines that don't have a single ps/2 port, but, a decent amount of
usb ports instead.

Fair enough.
