A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Isn’t the latency lower on ps/2 than usb?
Not necessarily. Even though PS/2 operates with a superior protocol, latency-wise, the clock speed is atrocious, resulting in an effective polling rate of about 1500hz, give or take. We could account that it doesn't need to wait for request to send keystrokes like USB keyboard do, effectively doubling it even more, but then we'd have to account for whatever delay Super I/O chips introduce and I'm not qualified to talk about that. But, if your keyboard is not from a dollar store shelf then it probably runs on at least 1000hz, at which point we are talking about sub-millisecond differences which would be quite hard to notice. 4000hz keyboard definitely beats PS/2 though.

I'm currently using a PS/2 Dell AT101W while I procrastinate fixing my AT Leading Edge DC-2214
Went to Disney recently and had a lot of time to wait in line. I found a ton of old tech recycled into decorations in their Star Wars area. I got to explain circuits, hard disks, and old connectors to my kids.
NGL I literally still use a PS/2 port for my decent yet extremely old membrane keyboard from circa 2007.
I meant to upgrade to a customized mechanical keeb a few years back, got a bunch of sample key caps and switches, got really overwhelmed by the choices, and never bought anything permanent.
In my dream scenario this choice pays off when some fed agency tries to install a hardware keylogger and can't because I'm the last idiot still using a PS/2 keyboard in 2024.
