Not response, you can poll the USB fast enough, gamers like ps/2 because you can get true n-key rollover (hold down as many keys as you like at once and they all get detected). The USB packet has a limit to the number of key down events that can be reported. Of course the keyboard has to support this too but the gamer oriented keyboards do. > > Check out "pckeyboard.com" and look under Unicomp Keyboards for the > "Classic".
