PS/2

[worthy flume]

Any chance of PS/2 support with an adapter like filcos etc?

PS/2 interface is pretty much dead (Thank GOD) . Use an adapter, if needed.
FYI: you should not plug/unplug PS/2 devices with power on .. A big inconvenience of that legacy interface.
What is your use case?

[gritty narwhal]

there is absolutely 0 chance of ps/2 support for our HE devices mainly due to PS/2 ports only suppying 270mA max and we need easily double that

unless you make a special adapter with external power this wont happen

What about the HE keebs actually pull that level of current? Is it the LEDs? A ps/2 mode would surely be fairly trivial to actually add and it could do things like shut off LED effects and other compromises to get it below 270mA.

I'd love to use my Wooting for things like XOC and retro gaming. Would be a good homage to the original Honeywell keyboards from the 70s that were also hall-effect.

youd need to basically limit it to something like 250hz

or less

the main main power draw is the HE sensors

our 60he draws over 500mA or just below (i dont exactly recall could be 490mA) when all LEDs are off.

Is that for the 8kHz polling rate?

[gritty narwhal]

thats 1khz on the 60he

Hmm, damn. Appreciate the replies btw. Also answers one of my next questions as to if you guys would be interested in a pull request adding the functionality, which I figure would a no as it could never be used

[gritty narwhal]

maybe if HE sensor tech advances and we get super power efficient ones this could be done

[gritty narwhal]

btw the theoretical best for ps2 is 500 or 600µs which is the theoretical best of a 2kHz polled USB interface

[trail grail]

CPU is in constant use for 2kHz though, whereas for ps/2 its interrupt based. I doubt this matters for modern CPUs but im a 640 kB sorta guy

Modern CPUs are no longer optimised for handling PS/2 I believe
