You either have to settle for something that's barely better than a Dell keyboard but is at least affordable. These days it seems you're a bit screwed as far as getting a keyboard. It's a standard rubber diaphragm keyboard, but a "gaming" keyboard nonetheless, as it was before switch-keyboards started taking off.
Which motherboards have ps2 emulator in bios pro#
I currently have a Thermaltake Challenger Pro keyboard, was a review sample back when it came out. I'm a gamer, but since I live in a rural area that ISPs don't give a shit about, online gaming is not something I do now that I don't have a capable internet connection (speed is, well sub-part, and ping time isn't horrible, it's just the limit cellular bandwidth). I'm a guy with relatively simple need when it comes to keyboard or mouse. I do have a bit of a gripe that is somewhat still on topic. I'm sorry, that's mainly the only reason I am posting Alas, I'll admit, that I also keep a PS2 KBM around as well, and was initially because, as mentioned, the older BIOSes either didn't support USB input or didn't initialize them quick enough to be able to even access the BIOS lol even you keyboard has a clit! (I'm assuming that is allowed to say, considering shit and fuck are acceptable. Ah well.Ĭlick to expand.*nudge* I see you like them darker toned ones, eh?īut man.

Might not be 'modern', and you aren't likely to buy an actual keyboard any time soon that uses it, but still, I'd like to have a port on my PC for it. So, yeah, there's still PS2 stuff around.

It cost me $2 at a recycling store, plus $6 for two PS2/USB adapters. It's super light, very durable, and has a million mile long cable (which would be super annoying for a laptop), it's easy to set up, and I can't see myself getting rid of it. If I was going to go back to FS X again, I'd certainly get it out and set it up again. Only need the keyboard plugged in when you program it. Since my last PC didn't have a PS2 port, I plugged it into a PS2 to USB adapter, and since I didn't have a PS2 keyboard, plugged a second adapter in and plugged my keyboard into it, and shockingly, that works. It's a 10-key addon module that has a PS2 passthrough. I did set it up for basic stuff in FS X before I got an actual gamepad. I used it as a game pad, or tried to, since it doesn't do key repeat. I have an ancient programmable 10-key addon module. But then again you're relying on the polling mechanism to handle all of that extra data. You won't find high DPI mice on PS/2 because there's just not enough bandwidth available. I can't tell you how many careless users I had to do plug repair on back in the 90s / early 2000s from snapping the key off and plugging the connector in incorrectly and smashing all the pins flat.Īnother advantage to USB is that it's a vastly faster bus than PS/2. The plugs aren't rated for high numbers of insertion cycles, and the plug itself is fragile. PS/2 devices were never designed to be hot plugged, doing so can potentially cause damage to the host system. USB trades hardware interrupts of PS/2 for convenience. Input lag on USB devices can be measured in milliseconds or higher. Other malfunctioning USB devices (most commonly misbehaving flash drives) can also bring down the entire USB subsystem and cause all USB devices to stop working until the offending device is removed, and sometimes requiring a system restart. High CPU load can cause USB HID devices to start acting erratically, such as the mouse teleporting around the screen or the keyboard missing key inputs.

USB on the other hand uses software to poll the device (usually via a driver.) Input latency becomes an issue because pretty much everything can affect the polling cycle time. Input latency is basically non existent here because interrupts are measured in nanoseconds.
Which motherboards have ps2 emulator in bios serial#
If you use a serial mouse, you have an even higher priority. The mouse has a few things ahead of it (serial, parallel, RTC, video) but is right up there with the keyboard if one or more of these aren't used. Since interrupts are dealt with in order of low to high, the PS/2 keyboard is one of the highest priority devices in the system, only being behind the system timer. This means that every time there's an input on either the keyboard or mouse, an interrupt is fired and the host CPU must stop everything else and deal with the interrupt before continuing. Out of the 16 hardware interrupts available (0-15, 0 given the most priority), the PS/2 keyboard is 1 and the mouse is 12. What laymen interpret as low latency on PS/2 keyboards and mice is the fact that they have assigned dedicated hardware interrupts. Its not really correct to compare PS/2 and USB in terms of latency, because that's not what's going on.
