who else here still using an old keyboard or mouse ? will i myself admit i still use old dell mechanical keyboard and guess how old it is ? its almost 30 years but still working really smooth hehehehe 😀
 
Solution
I was, old one from 1980s. Looks like the chip burned. On XT they used a sound chip as KB controller. There's an XT/AT switch at the back side.


my mouse is not an ancient its new its RAZER BLACK MAMBA tournament edition only my keyboard is ancient but better than the newer mechanical and u can use it as weapon against theif or something lol 😀
 


well my dell mechanical keyboard is really really solid but the downside is its really loud kinda like cherry mx blue switches nowadays
 


The clicking noise on old keyboards is kinda loud but they are what I grew up with so it has never bothered me as long as I don't try using it in a room where someone is trying to sleep.. I still have some old AT 5pin din type keyboards from IBM 386 and 486 systems that I use on computers with PS2 ports with an adapter. They are so rugged your could use them for home defense. Also some of the old cases were absolute tanks so I converted some AT cases for ATX use.
 


u still using old keyboard ?
 


Yes I still use old keyboards but usually only on older machines (Pentium 3 and older).
 


letters on mine are still very clear but my kb is kinda dirty white color instead of white :/
