# Title: PS/2 Click Board™ ## Description: The PS/2 Click Board™ is a cost-effective solution for adding keyboard and mouse connectivity to your design. It features a standard 6-pin Mini-DIN PS/2 connector, a mikroBUS™ host socket, and a power indicator LED. PS/2 click communicates with the target board through mikroBUS™ RST (data) and CS (clock) pins. It's designed to use a 5V power supply only. PS/2 Connector The PS/2 Click Board™ has a PS/2-style 6 pin mini-DIN connector used for connecting some keyboards and mice to a PC compatible computer system. It was irst introduced by IBM way back in 1987. It works on a serial, synchronous and bidirectional communication protocol. Full N-Key Rollover The PS/2 Click Board™ is used in certain high-end keyboards, especially for gamer keyboards as it supports n-key rollover. This means that each key is scanned entirely independently by the keyboard hardware, and thus, allowing the high-end keyboards to handle any number of simultaneous keystrokes. Why PS/2 over USB Though superseded by USB, PS/2 connectors are still used. The PS/2 connected keyboards are faster, and have slightly shorter effective scan intervals than their USB counterparts. PS/2 supports full n-key rollover, whereas USB keyboards can handle typically two to six keys at a time. ## Product type: Click Board ## Vendor: Mikroelektronika d.o.o. ## Tags: Adapter, Click Board, Interface, MikroE, Serial Interface ## Price range: 7.7 - 7.7 GBP ## Link: https://thedebugstore.com/products/ps-2-click-board-mikroe-1576-uk ## Compare-at price range: 11.0 - 11.0 GBP ## Options - Title: Default Title ## Collections - [New Products](https://thedebugstore.com/a/llms/collections/new-products-debug-store) - [Mikroelektronika d.o.o.
