PS/2 vs USB Keyboard--Latency Diffs?

I've been using a PS/2 MS Natural keyboard for a while now (damn thing's lasted over 5 years). I was thinking about getting a new MS Natural Pro instead, but I think it only comes in USB

I've heard many ppl complain about the extra latency (delay) USB adds over PS/2 for mice and keyboards. I currently use the PS/2 for my intellimouse explorer because of this fact.

I'm a big gamer (or was at least until CS 1.4 came out ;) ) and I'm sure I'll continue with it. Should I be worried about the extra latency from a newer USB keyboard? Does anyone have experience with trying the two against eachother and seeing if they can tell the difference?

Hell, I'd be using a wireless mouse right now if i weren't worried about latency. I even tried the intellimouse explorer wireless once and took it back because the latency was so horrible. Anyone that says they can't tell the difference is crazy.





Thx ahead of time, hope some of you guys have opinions on this!
