Like a few days ago at McDonalds a lady was yelling at them over how hot it was in the play area and making a scene. 2 minutes later she's yelling at her kids like she has no clue why they are completely out of control.

That's frigging hilarious. The guy behind the counter talking on the phone while it's going down.

The serial port was for the mouse, the PC/XT/AT 5 pin DIN was the keyboard.

Yeah, I was thinking mouse and wasn't even thinking about keyboards. I should have though, since they had the purple PS2 port there.
They still missed the Logitech port.

Some of those old 5 pin keyboards were made of cast metal and likely still work great.

The only reason anything is made with USB-A anymore is legacy products that are still on the market. It's all Type C these days and shortly, wireless everything.

Wireless has been out there for a LONG time.
Many still prefer wired.

Plus you still need wired for charging.

At work, most of the mice are wired, or were when I retired.
Every once in a while, a new boss shows up and wants to 'improve' things.
Which means trying out new things, that have actually been tried before and FAILED.
But they think it will be different, this time.

Watch the panic when the rechargeable mice die, and you need to recharge them.
Then break out the second rechargeable mice, and it's battery lasts 4 minutes.
Then you break out the AA (or was it AAA) mice.
And the same idiot that turned down your battery order is looking expectantly at you.
And you remind him, that HE said the production crew will be in charge of that.
Only, they ran through the pack of batteries AGAIN, and didn't bother to reorder batteries.
So they're searching as fast as they can, before the Cast terminates, and cost the company hundreds of thousands of $$$, and the idiot boss is looking at his 'career dissipation light' flash on/off.

But hey, what does a guy like me with 30 years of experience know.

No you don't. Well, maybe you do, but there is plenty of inductive charging going on and it will get nothing but faster. Just wait. For personal use, wired connects are on borrowed time.

You can call that wireless if you want - I don't. You need the same number of wires going to the inductive charger, that has to be compatible with your device, as you would to charge the device directly by wire. Plus sometimes they are slower.
