I’m looking for a mouse and keyboard that will work for my retro 98SE build while also being acceptable for playing on my windows 11 pc that’s connected via KVM at the same desk.

Requirement is for it to use PS/2 so I don’t have to connect another input device because the USB driver decided not to load on 98.

I’ve been trying to google for information but not getting a lot of good answers. Thanks in advance for your advice folks

    I’ll recommend some modern keyboards that are suitable for your retrokit - I’m a big fan of Unicomp keyboards myself, though they do not do N-key rollover, if that is something important to you. Their lighter shade (they call it ‘white’) is more of a grey than a beige.

    You may also consider USB keyboards that can handle P/S2 protocol with use of an adapter (not all of them can do this very well). I have a WASD keyboard for my modern PC that I sometimes also use with my older machines. I would recommend them, but they appear to be out of business.
