Yeah but try pressing more than 4 keys at once on the PS2 keyboard and get back to me

That is a limitation of the keyboard not PS/2. Unlike USB which is limited to 10 simultaneous key presses, PS/2 supports full n-key rollover.

USB is not limited to 10, or 6 as is sometimes stated.

Interesting I did not know that.

[–] Xenny@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well I never had a fancy gaming keyboard back in the PS2 days lol

[–] e8d79@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 10 months ago

How about a fancy IBM keyboard? The Model F from 1981 features n-key rollover. Don't ask me why they needed it at the time though. It probably wasn't important as the Model M from a couple of years later dropped that feature.

Dude just switch to vim already

Dude, just switch to Webstorm already

Nothing to do with the interface. If your keyboard can only do 4 it means that the manufacturer has cheaped out on diodes and couldn't even be bothered to stagger the matrix enough to make you not notice.

I think you're confusing USB and PS/2. USB has (or used to have?) a limit on the number of keys you could press, whereas PS/2 supports n-key rollover.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

USB supports NKRO as well as the default 6KRO.

[–] dan@upvote.au 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Historically it didn't support it though, whereas PS/2 always did.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Historically computers only supported punch cards, it feels weird to only focus on past capabilities. https://www.devever.net/~hl/usbnkro

[–] dan@upvote.au 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I mean... the post is about PS/2, which is a past capability too.

The site you linked to just shows a blank page for me in Firefox. Works in Chrome though.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Works fine for me in Firefox for Android. Weird. Everyday I remind myself how happy I am that I'm not a frontend dev lol.

[–] dan@upvote.au 1 points 10 months ago

Huh yeah, it works on my phone but not on my PC. Not sure why.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Preposterous, I've used emacs on a ps2 keyboard without issues.

[–] morbidcactus@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago

I recall NKRO was the selling point on some of those keyboards, my old steel series mechanical will absolutely let you mash all the keys with a ps2 adapter.

[–] Anarki_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Ok, but why would you ever? Genuinely curios.

Never had issues with it, but fair. Different strokes.

Try playing a rhythm game on a most PS2 keyboards 😟

Also with certain button combinations it was less than 4. You could only hold 2 arrow keys down at a time.
