If it makes you feel better, when I was a kid, the mouse of my first computer used to go through a serial port, and a keyboard through a parallel port. Dot Matrix printers also used parallel ports. The good old times of the intel 386/486 models.
God, I remember using the old non-standardized serial connectors from my CD caddy and 5.25" floppy days. I still can hear the C64 floppy drive whirring up for my sisters and I to watch the Ghostbusters game crash yet again, until we’d cry.
“It’s pronounced PS/2”
Mom: we’ve got ps2 at home.
man, I’m old. I remember the keyboard connector before the ps/2 ports. I think it was called AT connector? I forget. Probably dementia
Dementia? Never heard of that connector.
DemenTIA, from CompTIA. Some of those exam questions really make you wonder. . .
About 80% of my deceased family have been die-hard adopters of that.

The round connector you need to reboot for.
