Personally I wanted PS2 only keyboards for the longest time because it always worked. Even up to XP I found issues with USB keyboards (gone with 7 and 8).
The PS2 keyboards I had most definitely had the problem you're talking about. Definitely in UT2004 where it was VERY noticeable. I believe this G19s is my first USB keyboard as far as I can recall.
