USB or PS/2 ?

<< < (3/4) > >>

Minwah:
IMO USB is the way to go if you really need hot-swapping.  Many people don't however...I personally use PS/2 for IPAC (I never unplug it) and USB for mouse devices (for my swappable panels).

RayB:
I've hot-swapped both ports and never had a problem (I've been using PCs since 1990)

I do have a USB port though that will shut down the computer if I hotswap. I don't think it's wired up right...

I've seen unplugging mice lock systems several times...

Exactly :)
