It is mainly the hardware that doesn't tolerate changes to ps2.  There
really is no reason not to just use a usb keyboard too that I can think
of.  I have seen KVM's that had PS2 keyboard and video and USB on them.
They exist since many people started wanting to be able to use usb keys
and usb mice and such with a KVM, that and PS2 mice didn't like them.
