I remember when mice were a neat new peripheral for use with graphical interfaces instead of typing in a command line.

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

I'm using a PS/2 keyboard and trackpad right now.

Adesso ACK-540-pw if anyone is interested.

Are these not still in use?

I've not built a tower in a few years granted, but the last one I built had PS2 ports. Heck it even had VGA for the onboard graphics.
