@mavica OOOoooo I remember those things! I think... I think I very briefly had one? Not, personally owned, but it was in our house for a li'l. Someone wanted it fixed or something.

They had those big chonky circular things for the keyboards huh?

@heytanuki@snouts.online also now I'm imagining some super gamerBro(tm) who's smug about his (because it's a dude, it's ALWAYS a friggin dude) l33t gaming skills because he has two usb keyboards hooked up and uses his toes AND his hands to play double mouse and keyboard but keeps getting sniped by people who simply just use dirt cheap keyboards and mice and he always screams hax when they do

@heytanuki@snouts.online i'm learning them myself too!we're learning together, it's a magical journey

@mavica holy crap THAT'S what that stands for?! I genuinely had no friggin idea why it was called ps/2 and was just like "uuuhhhhhh ...personal...standard... two?... fuckit"

@heytanuki@snouts.online oh weird. honestly NKRO is just for gamers really, if someone is used to typing on a typewriter 6kro would be fine, but gamers will often need like... 15kro, especially on weird shit like mmos apparently, idek, gamers are strange creatures. I get it, but... dang, y'know?

@mavica it is???? dang I've only ever seen it written as ps/2. I still always get ps2 (as in the console) and ps/2 (as in the connector) confused regardless tho

@mavica playstation 2 doesn't have a ps/2 port I thought... wait... do someo f them have a ps/2 port?

@heytanuki@snouts.online As such, keyboards that support n-key rollover and have a ps/2 plug, but where they're used with a PS/2 to usb adapter, will lose nkey rollover, whereas a keyboard that is USB but supports nkr, and is conencted via USB to Ps/2 adapter, WILL have nkr.

@heytanuki@snouts.online Yeah apparently it's because of the way USB and PS/2 actually handle data.

If I've read this right, and if it's correct, USB is "Poll" based, so it basically blips on the regular, constantly, or something, and PS/2 is Interrupt based, so it literally is silent until a key is pressed, whereupon it goes "YO THIS KEY GOT PRESSED, RESPOND" to the BIOS and the Bios either goes "yah k reading you loud and clear" or "fuck, sorry, someone else interrupted me, what'd you say?"

also fucked up that ps2 keyboard and ps/2 keyboard are not the same thing

me: *does a little more research on mechanical keyboards* ...oh. ps/2 keyboards are still a thing?... ...?? and... can natively do n-key rollover?? Really???
...

...??? Do... do I have to go back to ps/2 keyboards again??
