The keyboard and mouse ports are typically referred to as USB ports, as most modern keyboards and mice connect via USB. In the case of older devices, they may use PS/2 ports, which are circular connectors—purple for keyboards and green for mice. Additionally, wireless keyboards and mice utilize Bluetooth or proprietary wireless receivers.
