You only do that to yourself.
You are immature and you are going to get someone killed if you keep
this up.
Basically I can't see it being easier to exploit the ps/2 then usb. For one
how can you spoof a device? And there is no other free ports, so can't have
multiple devices.
This is why I don't want you giving advice because you have absolutely
zero idea of what you are doing and you simply refuse to learn.
Someone in a third world country is going to get his disk password read
by the government hitmen in the basement of his apartment complex (read
the article I provided) and he is going to die because of all the
bullshit spun forth on this listserv, or (venezuela) his crypto-currency
will be stolen and he will be un-able to feed his family.

Why are you so naive? How can you not believe that this happens? People
are dying because they have poor security.
It seems to me you should be more worried about the actual keyboard you are
using then what board you are connecting it to.
Mine is made in the united states by a trustworthy company, and it
doesn't have re-writable memory as nearly every keyboard on the market does.
Money well spent as I will never have to purchase another one, already a
decade and a half old but it still looks good as new.
And then if we really want to get down to PARANOID. They might as well put
listening devices in there as well as recording all your keystrokes lol. Maybe
put a microscopic camera in your keyboard too.
Who do you think is tapping the "ground wire" of your keyboard? Is it the
CIA? hehe...
This isn't about me - who lives in a safe and free western country -
this is about the people who you are giving dangerous advice to who for
all I know could be dissidents in one of the worlds less friendly places
to live.

Just realized that you prefer to have mouse and kb on the same usb controller
rather then using ps/2 port.
There isn't anything wrong with that, both are critical input devices
and can do near equally as much damage.
If you can't trust your keyboard and mouse you have already lost.
You seem to not have noticed that the developers mentioned a PS/2
internal *laptop* keyboard not a desktop keyboard (to avoid laptop USB
based attacks) - there is a large difference between the one in your
laptop and the one connected to a traditional port on a desktop the
protocol is the same but the physical characteristics of the cable are
different, most laptops lack a ground wire and one can simply unplug
from the wall if they do or obtain a ground removal plug.
