You don't want to use ps/2 ports because if something comes disconnected
from them and someone plugs the peripheral back in while your computer
is running, that very well could toast the motherboard.  Then it's time
to buy a new computer.  With usb, no such problems or risks.

I do have PS2 adapters on both my newish desktop - got it brand new in 
December last year - and my 2 year old dell laptop.

Stay well
