I expected this kind or reply. Every time you warn about something dangerous, someone comes out and says "I did it and nothing bad happened". Sure, people drove drunk and did not cause an accident, people touched the mains live wire and did not die, people had unsafe sex and did not get infected. It does not mean it is not dangerous. Someone reported me that he unplugged a PCI extension card from the motherboard while the power was on, and there was no damage. Would you do it ? The electrical and mechanical characteristics of the PS/2 port are not design for hot-plugging. Electronical devices can be destroyed when you apply a (even low) voltage to a signal pin while the power or ground pin is not connected. Hot-plug connector are designed so that this cannot happen.
