PS/2 Keyboard Style


Interfaces in this category will allow you to attach your switch based controls (Arcade Pushbuttons, Microswitch-based Joysticks, etc.) to your PC using the PS/2 keyboard port. These interfaces output Key-press data to the PC, just like your keyboard.

PS/2 keyboard technology is very fast and has no limits on the number of simultaneous button presses, unlike "Boot Prototcol" (6KRO) USB keyboard technology. They also send non-packetized keypress data, which makes them much closer to true "First-In-First-Out" than USB.  They are easy to use and require no extra drivers to be installed, but do require a PC with separate, true PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse ports to guarantee proper operation.  

PS/2 is preferred by many for keyboard based gaming, but many lower-cost, new PCs no longer support it.  For those without PS/2 ports, please check out our USB-Compatible Gamepad/Joy Style interface offerings.
