In assembly too?!    I'd disagree that mine is more advanced, the code is held together with spit and duct tape lol! But it's (mostly) working, so that gives me motivation to keep improving the project, plus it's been a fun way to learn.

RE: my input speed issues, I ended up making a USB -> PS2 converter from an extra RP2040 Zero flashed with the ps2x2pico firmware. I skipped the level converter shown in the github and instead added a 4.7k pullup resistor from GP 13 to GP11 (PS2 Data) and GP 13 to GP12 (PS2 Clock), and then connecting those to the picomite and linking VBUS between the two picos as well as GND. Now I can use a USB keyboard with the input speed of a PS2.
