I actually use a keyboard with that connector with a converter ( to USB ). It works pretty well.
Fyi, I’m using a very old happy hacking keyboard my father gave me
Here’s the picture of the keyboard I found on the Internet:

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

MODERATORS
I haven't seen a device with those in a very long time.
My keyboard uses PS/2 and although I do have a PS/2 to USB adapter, i prefer using my computers PS/2 port because it means one more USB port can be used for something else.
30+ years old and it runs flawlessly.
If there is a fault in the PS2 device it literally breaks the rest of the computer.
A little more than 15 years ago I had to fix my PS2 keyboard because it crashed everything. Not even a BSOD, just colors.
I know this is a shitpost, but what's interesting is that even though USB doesn't directly interrupt the CPU it's still faster. USB is able to get the entire packet sent before PS2 even sends one. It's very interesting. So if you ever see anyone unironically saying there is less latency call them out!
Yeah but try pressing more than 4 keys at once on the PS2 keyboard and get back to me
That is a limitation of the keyboard not PS/2. Unlike USB which is limited to 10 simultaneous key presses, PS/2 supports full n-key rollover.
USB is not limited to 10, or 6 as is sometimes stated.
Interesting I did not know that.
A bunch of those points about ps2 are no longer accurate, it's emulated on modern computers.
Don't tell me they nerfed ps2
Sad day to have eyes
Sad days tp ahve a PS2 keyboard ot mouse
Jesus, proofread before hitting send.
