I'm trying to remember the name for the chonky round keyboard connector that was before these (these were called PS/2 ports). And in that era the mouse would plug into the serial port :blink:

Before these, you had DE-9 but it wasn't round.

Fun story, in mid-to-late-2000's I went to a retail shop and asked for USB to PS/2 adapter to connect a mouse I bought (they usually came with adapters before but it was getting out of fashion). The clerk responded that the Playstation 2 already had a USB port but it had to be a dedicated mouse that would connect to the controller port... His senior started laughing.

I was thinking of the one on the right - apparently called AT or DIN-5

from left to right, USB - PS/2 - Din5 (AT) - XT that was on the PC world, the dark side has having lots of connectors trying to make the people buy a new keyboard for every new version.

Even better is when the game has a pop-up like:
‘You've died once during this fight. Would you like to temporarily lower the difficulty?’
Except if you're already playing at the lowest difficulty.. This reminds of the 1st GoW, it has a cheap boss fight at the end (with Ares), and is unpredictable and infuriating.. it gives you the option to change difficulty after +5 deaths, and even changing it to easy doesn't help you much, same stuff happens no matter what you do..
