Yes. PS/2 is the little DIN plug.  Anyone still have one of the full-size 
DIN plugs they used before that?

Sort of. It's more like some keyboards are built to recognise that plug 
being on there and switch to sending PS/2 signals. You can't take every USB 
keyboard and use it with the adaptor.

You can have more than one, you can put it on a hub, you can hot plug it 
between machines, and you need less driver software to use it from scratch 
assuming someone already gave you a USB driver.

For the average desktop user? Not a whole lot.
