Suggest New Desktop Computers ArticlesQuestion by Brian H: Do most all new desktop computers have PS/2 keyboard ports?

Just a bit curious about this. Thanks. Best answer for Do most all new desktop computers have PS/2 keyboard ports?:
Answer by Nathan Simmons
Nope. Most new computers will only have USB ports for keyboards.
Answer by GoalieSaves
Yeah Mostly all Desktops still use PS/2 Ports in the future they will probably phase them out.
Answer by Bjorn
Yes and no. We have Dell desktops at work we just ordered, and they do not have PS/2 ports. But there are others that do. It is probably safe to assume that all manufacturers are going through the process of eliminating them.

I have a brand new HP. No PS/2 port. just USB.
Answer by Analog
It depends. My 2009-era Dell Vostro came with them, others may not. Most motherboards I see out there still have PS/2 ports (though some cut the mouse port) though. PS/2 still has a couple advantages. You can use super-old clicky mechanical keyboards on them, which are also much nicer to type on compared to the newer keyboards. Also, if you have a keyboard that supports N-key rollover, on PS/2 you can hold down all 104 keys and have them register. USB limits it to 6.

It depends upon whether you're looking at a consumer or commercial grade machine. Commercial use motherboards tend to stick with the PS/2 port which provides a more stable connection that is better for keeping out dust. Consumer grade machines have almost all switched over to USB plugs. For example, if you look at an HP Presario desktop, you'll only see USB ports, but if you look at an HP Pro desktop, you'll see the PS/2.
