Definition: A PS2 connector is the port that is still commonly used to connect keyboards and mice to your computer. The PS2 port is round, has 6 pins and they are commonly color coded to make it easy to distinguish the port for the mouse and the keyboard. The keyboard PS2 port is purple and the mouse PS2 port is green. Newer mice and keyboards also commonly use the USB port rather than the PS2 port.
