    Ain’t nobody in their mid 30s ever even seen a DB9 serial port used for a mouse. I haven’t even used one for over 30 years and I AM as old as the crypt keeper.

      I’m 38 and I absolutely used a serial mouse and PS2 keyboard. Our first Pentium 120 used a serial mouse and PS2 keyboard from 1994 or so.

      The Commodore 64 was discontinued in 1994 and it used a 9 pin peripheral connector for things like mouse, joystick, etc.
