The PS2 (and AT) connectors keyboards and mice were largely using before USB were round…

Arguably still better though because you could just rotate the plug until it went in instead of flipping it back and forth 5 times to get it to go in. And they also had more reliable indication for orientation.

That was a good way to twist and bend up all the pins. Don't you remember how fragile they were?

I meant to add a warning saying I may have bent a few pins that way 😅

Twist gently…

😳
