usb keyboards some times act as usb hub devices. would you count that as a benefit? usb keyboards can be plugged in and out and in again with out rebooting the computer (called "hot-swapping"). would you count that as a benefit? neither of these things can be done with ps/2 keyboards. just b/c you cannot think of a use for something does not mean that there is not a use for it.
I think everyone needs to calm down. This thread seems to be getting out of hand.
And to add though, I see how usb hot swapping for a keyboard can become useful, but I don't ever recall when I needed to unplug my keyboard in and out while my computer is on ??
Also, to overclock a keyboard to me would be useless, as you would never tell the difference ever..

PS. Also any member telling the other to STFU I will personally make sure will be banned from the site, as that is uncalled for especially when opinions are being stated.

Rep:
This is the first I really read this thread and I have to agree with trickykid. Try to relax. Not everyone is going to agree on things, that is one of the great things about this site - you get to see each others differing opinions/approachs to things. Try to use that to your advantage instead of seeing it as a negative.
