      Please explain? I get that the chubby bird is speaking assembly, but I’m sure there’s more to it than that?

        PS2 keyboards use interrupts rather than polling in USB, meaning every time a key is pressed the CPU stops what its doing to process it.

          Cool! I had no idea it was deeper than just a physical interface change.

          I’m wondering, is it still the case for mobos with Super IO?

            Super IO does still use interrupts as far as I know. The PS/2 protocol is interrupt-driven, so it’s not possible to use a PS/2 keyboard or mouse without interrupts.

            I know you’re probably being facetious… but the PS/2 port is what’s shown in the OP image.

            that said the Playstation 2 had USB ports, you could just plug a regular keyboard into it

          And having to pick your IRQ when installing anything into your machine, and the weird bugs that could happen if you mucked it up.

              And when the bits feel off the end and you had to wind them back on with a pencil.
