You do not need legacy support for the PS2 keyboard. (The round
plug.) Legacy support makes a USB keyboard look like a PS2 keyboard
to the system. The fact that you had a USB keyboard when you
installed should not make a difference.

Wikipedia seems to think it's the other way around:

Legacy support

The term legacy support is often used with reference to obsolete or
legacy computer hardware, whether peripherals or core components.
Operating systems with "legacy support" can detect and use legacy
hardware.

Anyways, I have to get a new keyboard.
