PS/2 ports were designed by IBM in 1987 to connect keyboards and mice using a mini-DIN connector, with keyboard ports in purple and mouse ports in green. While PS/2 ports allow for full n-key rollover and save power through interrupted communication, USB has largely superseded PS/2 as most devices now only support the USB protocol.

USB PS/2 PORTS

Designed by IBM in 1987, now superseded by


USB.
The ps/2 is a six pin mini-DIN connector used for
connecting some keyboards and mice to the PC.
Keyboard ports are purple and mouse ports are
green.
The communication protocol is serial and
bidirectional.
An advantage of ps/2 ports over USB is that
they allow for a full n-key rollover in keyboards

USB PS/2 PORTS


So, it is a popular interface for laptops inbuilt
keyboards.
The ps/2 ports connect the digital i/o lines of the
external device to that of the mother- board. So,
they are not hot swappable.
Some contemporary devices were built to
support both protocols , but most USB
keyboards and mouses no longer support the
ps/2 protocol.
It also saves power due to its interrupted
communication with the motherboard.
