Read some interesting things about USB on your site and now I want to change over from USB keyboard and mouse to PS/2. My mobo has a single port that combines both in what they (Gigabyte) describe as a PS/2 port. Can I just slap an adapter onto my existing keyboard and mouse (say a PS/2 port splitter and a couple of USB to PS/2 adapters) or do I need a keyboard and mouse that are natively PS/2?

If USB is this bad, I shudder to think what horrors lurk within Thunderbolt.
