and it sucks ass
really flat, has no natural tilt so i think itll be impossible to play keyboard on lap, and the keys have 0 depth, keeps sliding around all over the place, really light
i can't believe companies who manufacturer motherboards without PS/2 support are actually still in business. sigh.
edit: SCRATCH THAT LOL, CAN'T EVEN STRAFE AND CROUCH HEHUEAHUEHUAEHUAHUAEHUHUH

I'm sick of your whining, you've gone from someone with a cause to someone with a stupid problem. Your emo cpm starcraft wannabee esreality persona is only 'cute' when it has context, a £2 converter does provide that context.
Move on.
Can you explain to me how USB keyboard input is evolved when it is inferior to PS/2?
Might've been able to test a few and purchase a half-decent USB keyboard had the announcement not come three working days before the LAN. Even "decent" converters (eg: more than £2) can induce input lag and create keypress issues and you expect us to pick one at random and hope it works without testing, right.
Fair enough I understand that you didn't know the specifications of the computers until recently, but a little warning that there was a possibility that a widely supported connector would bite the dust would have been welcome.
I don't see the need to take it personally, I'm not blaming you for manufacturing idiocy, warning would've been nice but whatever. I'll get over it. I'll whine about shit keyboards in my journal if I want to. It's a pretty big change.
Enlighten me please
Interrupt vs polling, as far as I can tell by googling all USB HID-compilant devices use interrupt transfers (i.e. no bulk or isochronous transfers)
The last thing you answered yourself, and to be honest, I wouldn't hold USB's ability to multiplex against it. If you don't want to do it, put your keyboard/mouse on a seperate bus.
</asshole>
isochronous would be better but afaik no usb keyboards utilize it. PS/2 isn't polled at all, whereas USB is interupt based BUT polled
maybe not SUPERIOR, but USB is not better than PS/2 and is not a reason to phase PS/2 out
You know that isochronous makes no guarantee that every piece of data arrives?
@your edit:
Why keep an old standard which can't really do anything and don't add anything to anyones computer experience, when you can phase it out and save space/cost/complexity?
Oh, and I can't see how USB is limited in sending keycode pushed/released for more than one key pressed at any time, that's keyboard-hardware only.
either way pure interupt > polling
bullshit, that's what this is all about, many people have nice ps/2 keyboards
Agree on that one, pure interrupt > polling, but then again DMA > interrupt (though for large bulks of data).
And many people have nice ISA cards lying around aswell.
Oh, I have some awesome Roman scrolls back home, it's a shame they phased it out
PS/2 > USB for keyboards.
