Yes B550 has 1My most recent motherboard is a z390 (asrock Taichi) and it has one dual-purpose PS/2 port. Are PS/2 ports even included on modern motherboards? Or have they gone the way of the LPT and RS232c port?

Hello, this is 1985 calling, and we want ALL our antiquated, outdated ports/connectors/cables back, like, yesterday !!!!!
Yes I know some people still insist that they are useful, superior or whateva, but IMHO, they should have died a silent but painful death long ago, just like all the other tech from the 70's 80's, & 90's has....

US plug is not great, UK did it far safer. Could use an update but it probably will never happen.Did you know that the US power outlet plug was invented in the 1920's? We gotta get rid of that crusty old ancient shit!

N Key Rollover. It also keeps usb ports free for other traffic.PS/2 is a feature I like to have, honestly. Still hard to beat for keyboards.
We used to not have to idiot proof everything, let them weed themselves out lol.US plug is not great, UK did it far safer. Could use an update but it probably will never happen.
I agree with your overall sentiment though.

Did you have a look here? It should give you a quick overview of which Z690 boards still have them. It's quite a mixed lot of boards that have them.My most recent motherboard is a z390 (asrock Taichi) and it has one dual-purpose PS/2 port. Are PS/2 ports even included on modern motherboards? Or have they gone the way of the LPT and RS232c port?

PS/2 is NOT 60hz. Being interrupt driven, it's actually more akin to something like 1000hz in resolution.The 125Hz standard polling rate is way faster than the 60 hz PS2/2 stock .

My tower doesn't have a PS/2 port and I've never needed to use it. In fact, I haven't used a PS/2 device in over 20 years. I think the whole USB not working thing is overstated.That may be the case, but it happens regardless.
