Here's a brief overview:
Connector Type: The PS/2 connector is a round, 6-pin mini-DIN connector, typically colored green (for keyboards) or purple (for mice).Usage: PS/2 connectors were widely used before USB became the dominant standard for peripherals. They were commonly found on older desktop computers, though some modern motherboards may still have PS/2 ports for backward compatibility.
Advantages: PS/2 connections were favored for keyboards due to their lower latency compared to USB connections. They also supported features like N-key rollover, allowing multiple keys to be pressed simultaneously without conflicts.
Disadvantages: One drawback of PS/2 connectors is their limited hot-swapping ability. Unlike USB, you usually need to power off the computer before connecting or disconnecting a PS/2 device.
Legacy Support: While USB has largely replaced PS/2 for keyboards and mice, some users still prefer PS/2 connections for certain applications, especially in professional gaming where low latency is critical.
Application:
Personal Computers (PCs): PS/2 connectors were extensively used in desktop computers to connect keyboards. Many older motherboards included PS/2 ports for keyboards and mice, providing a reliable and low-latency connection.Gaming and eSports: In gaming setups, PS/2 keyboards were preferred by some gamers due to their lower latency compared to USB keyboards. This low latency was especially important for competitive gaming where quick response times were crucial.
Industrial and Embedded Systems: PS/2 connectors were also used in industrial environments and embedded systems where reliability and stability were prioritized over modern features like hot-swapping. They provided a dependable interface for keyboards in such applications.
