These aren't old. I had one in the early 2010s, it was handed down by a relative because my parents were poor.

I'm Gen Z

There where three. The full din keyboard plug, serial for your mouse and that unholy thing on the back of your sound blaster on which you could connect a joystick.

PS/2 isn't vintage. I'm still using an adapter to connect my Microsoft Natural keyboard through USB.

Edit: I never used one of these, I'm just as old as one. First computers I used were a Macintosh 128k and an Apple ]|[, unless you count the TI 91-a as a computer and not a console, but that machine is older than me

They've finally started removing them from boards, and I'm annoyed. I want my NKRO.

Most of them are internally connected via USB apparently so there's no difference. Not that the average e sports player would even notice.
