I actually wanted a PS2 port because it works with interrupts rather than polling but they aren't really included anymore.

I feel like they don't make boards for people like me who want small boards with a super niche port.

When a MoDT Mini-ITX board comes out with a PS2 port I will buy that instantly

I remember the adapters that went from the larger version of this to smaller as well as using the serial port.
