So, the complaints against USB coming from PS/2 were around the switch from pushing inputs to polling with a relatively low rate on vastly slower CPUs. Nowadays CPUs are much faster and parallel; and the polling rates are in the 1-8 kHz as opposed to 100-400Hz.

I don't see any pro gamers carrying in any kind of PS/2 device, they even moved to wireless so the differences are likely meaningless these days.

And I completely missed on all the optimisations that have been going into the USB and scheduling stacks.
