NGL I literally still use a PS/2 port for my decent yet extremely old membrane keyboard from circa 2007.

I meant to upgrade to a customized mechanical keeb a few years back, got a bunch of sample key caps and switches, got really overwhelmed by the choices, and never bought anything permanent.

In my dream scenario this choice pays off when some fed agency tries to install a hardware keylogger and can’t because I’m the last idiot still using a PS/2 keyboard in 2024.

Went to Disney recently and had a lot of time to wait in line. I found a ton of old tech recycled into decorations in their Star Wars area. I got to explain circuits, hard disks, and old connectors to my kids.

We asked our Dell sales guy this question years ago now, when they had been removed one year and quickly added back the next year.

They are there mostly for government builds, and other places with high security requirements. Usually the requirement is that they need to prevent any unauthorized USB devices from being plugged in. With the PS2 m&k ports they can disable the USB ports entirely in the BIOS.

That makes sense! The convenience of USB means that this single point of entry is now a critical security risk.
