Apparently [1] PS/2 limited by a slower data rate than USB 2.0 which cancels out almost all the advantage of its lower initial latency to begin the transmission, making them both about equally capable in actual latency - at least in theory.

Even if this conclusion is wrong, that video is a very pleasant and understandable explanation of the USB protocol.
- kitsunesoba 5y agoI wonder how much CPU load changes the equation. I've experienced USB input locking up or stuttering as a result of high CPU load, which presumably wouldn't happen with PS/2.
