A PS/2 keyboard will never be prone to driver issues.  For the forseeable
future I plan to use them.  I know many motherboards support "legacy" USB
(they have a way to drive a USB keyboard by themselves) but I haven't tried
it.  Still, the keyboard variety is still all PS/2.  I only see a few USB
keyboards out there.

Mouse however, I have no problems with USB.  Seems all new mice come in a
USB flavor.
