Devices 1 or 2 Protocol Pin out. • Keyboard and mouse ports may be combined into a single port which can be used to connect both by splitter cable. • Sometimes, keyboard Data for splitter cable.

• Sometimes, keyboard Clock for splitter cable. The PS/2 port is a 6-pin used for connecting and to a computer system. Its name comes from the series of, with which it was introduced in 1987. The PS/2 mouse connector generally replaced the older 'serial mouse' connector, while the PS/2 keyboard connector replaced the larger 5-pin/180° used in the design.

However, unlike the otherwise similar connector used by Apple, a given system's keyboard and mouse port may not be interchangeable since the two devices use a different set of commands. Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • Communication protocol [ ] Communication is, and. The attached device generates the clock signal. The host controls communication using the clock line; when the host pulls the clock low, communication from the device is inhibited.

Port availability [ ] Older and most contemporary motherboards have a single port that supports either a keyboard or a mouse. Sometimes the port also allows one of the devices to be connected to the two normally unused pins in the connector to allow both to be connected at once through a special splitter cable.

This configuration is common on / notebooks among many others. The PS/2 keyboard interface was electrically the same as for the 5-pin DIN connector on former, and keyboards designed for one can be connected to the other with a simple wiring adapter. In contrast to this, the PS/2 mouse interface is substantially different from (which was generally used for mice on PCs without PS/2 ports), but nonetheless many mice were made that could operate on both with a simple passive wiring adapter, where the mice would detect the presence of the adapter due to its wiring and then switch protocols accordingly. PS/2 mouse and keyboard connectors have also been used in non-IBM PC-compatible computer systems, such as the DEC line, early IBM machines and,, and newer (, etc.) computers.

Various Macintosh clone computers from the late 1990s featured PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, including the and the Power Computing PowerBase. Legacy port status and USB [ ] PS/2 is now considered a, with ports now normally preferred for connecting keyboards and mice. This dates back at least as far as the / specification of 2000. However, PS/2 ports continue to be included on many computer motherboards, and are favoured by some users, for various reasons including: • They cause fewer problems when with non- systems. [ ] • PS/2 ports may also be favored for security reasons in a corporate environment as they allow USB ports to be totally disabled, preventing the connection of any USB removable disks and malicious USB devices.
