Touchscreen. We're not living in the stone age anymore
>>
I prefer to use PS/2 when possible, but sometimes it's a pain in the dick because you actually have to turn the computer off to remove the keyboard and such. Plus a lot of boards don't have the port anymore, so USB becomes the most convenient choice.
>>
>>60661065

So you have a touchscreen device in between your tower and your mouse/keyboard?
>>
>>60661346
Yes
I bluetooth my ipad to my pc and use it as a wireless keyboard.

I have an ipad mini to use as a touch pad for gaming on the pc.

What's your problem?
>>
>>60662054

So you look at your pc screen AND have your tablet turned on the ENTIRE time just to type on?.

That's a waste of electricity. You should consider going green.
>>
>>60660791
PS/2 because no ghosting
>>
>>60662081
They have limited colours moron. There is no green ipad.
>>
My board doesn't have PS2 ports.
>>
Bluetooth frees a USB port + PS2 port + desk + no cables.
>>
>>60662096

The Android mascot is green, you should probably switch.
>>
>>60660791
USB is superior to PS2 for mouse use since it uses polling instead of interrupts.
>>
PS/2 because it's driverless and not polled
>>
>>60660791
USB, as in No more bent plug pins.
>Free a USB-port
Weak poor fags argument.
>>
>>60660791
PS/2 doesn't have exploitable microcontrollers
>>
I sodered my keyboard to my board
>>
I want them to find a way so that I can turn on my computer by typing a password using a USB keyboard.

PS/2 could do this.
>>
Used to be categorally against anything without wire but after setting up a normie machine for mom I switched to wireless too, what a moron I was. So much more freedom now!

Polling is bad. That is why PS/2 is considered superior to USB. And there are interrupts involved in USB too, except they occour after the polling, are shared with other devices, and are less direct. Anyway USB 3.0 has a mechanism to push events to the host instead of polling. But since mice are considered slow devices, and USB 3.0 requires extra wires, in practice no such mouse exists afaik. Most USB mice are USB 2.0 which is crap compared to PS/2.

>>60662155
It is not driverless. However the driver is much simpler and can be loaded earlier. The data path is shorter.
>>
I have a USB keyboard that has a PS2 mouse port on the side so I can plug a mouse into the keyboard and plug the USB into compy running them both. One of my favorite keyboards
>>
>>60663058
You know this is even worse.

>>60660791
>not plugging the keyboard directly to the CPU
>>
>>60663119
I use it for web surfing on a Linux turdbox , I don't care about performance .
>>
>>60663144
>Not using the cpu as a keyboard
>>
>>60663172
>using the cpu as a keyboard
dude the contacts will get rusty
get a cool 1cm-thick night owl mechanical cover for your Pentyboard.
>>
>>60660791
There is no reason to use PS/2 in 2017. N-key rollover was the last advantage they had and that was a meme that no one really needs, but USB has even had that for a few years now.
>>
>not soldering your keyboard directly onto the CPU

enjoy your lag losers
>>
>>60660791
USB faggot we live in the future this isn't an argument anymore.
>>

PS2, but I always use USB because PS2 isn't a consideration for manufacturers anymore.
>>
>>60663406

PS/2 just because I like my old keyboard and mouse. And current mobo has two ps/2 ports, so that's great.
