Corporate IT security reasons. Also for the dozens of users who are still rocking their IBM Model M buckling spring keyboards.
I guess they kept it for John Titor?
I remember how I hated USB keyboard when they were getting popular because there was no way to get in to the BIOS with them!
Pretty amazing that now we have mouse support in UEFI UI.I remember when you could overlock the polling rate of PS2 mouse to 200Hz which was faster than standard usb 1.1 125Hz at the time. It made FPS much smoother and nicer.
Does anyone still buy intel CPUs/Motherboards?
I would have thought the same but the Ultra 7s look pretty good price to performance and energy efficiency.
Why wouldn't you ? Depends on your use wouldn't it ?
They're a budget brand, offer good value compared with expensive AMD options. In all seriousness depends on your use case and intel does have some cheaper options compared with AMD, performance isn't much worse and they do offer better mutli-core performance at the lower price point due to having more of those lower powered E cores on board.

The 30% non-5 star at Amazon is worrying— especially when the complaints are similar- especially MSi sh*t support.
Good discount, bad company.
Hmmm. Good find. Too late for me. But I haven't bought most of the other parts yet, so might give MSI a miss ;-)
I take it the qualiry of the newer stuff the past couple years has deteriorated from MSI, cause their older stuff Intel 2nd Gen - around 10th Gen were rock solid????
Who the hell in 2025 has/needs/wants a ps2 keyboard and mouse?
