| 742995 | 2009-01-29 08:29:00 | Hey all I have used them via USB at work and at home always had PS/2. Are there any differences? I just got a PC, before been using laptops, so I am on the market for a pair. I am/was looking at the cheap combo mouse/keyboard Logitech via PS/2. Thanks heaps. |

| 742997 | 2009-01-30 02:09:00 | I have USB wireless keyboard, and I can't make selections with it during boot selection screen (yeah, I have XP/Vista dualboot, although XP is deserted now...). The hub was unpowered. That's why I keep a PS/2 keyboard on the case of the computer. However, I can enter BIOS with the wireless keyboard, and can make changes there. Weird... |

| 742998 | 2009-01-30 02:48:00 | apparently USB uses more CPU cycles than PS/2. But i doubt it would matter anyway. Also depending on your mouse, it may not support PS/2 because it may need a high data rate (eg for 'pro' gamer mice with fast update cycles) |
