Does anyone have the exact part numbers or at least the connector types used for PS/2 boards? I know that the 3V and 5V boards have different connectors, so I'd like both types.

3V type are in the Digikey 2011 catalog page 137 Tyco/ AMP 2.0mm HPI Connectors. The housings are available but the contacts are out of stock...have been for over a year now.
Can't help with the 5V style.
Halfway home, thanks Chuck.
I have heard the 5V called "Hi rose". Not sure if that helps.
That's good info on the Hirose stuff
I use these pliers for crimping for both AMP & Molex contacts and they work suprisingly well..though only a few short years ago they were priced at $62.85

I'm now working on coming up with the PS3 connectors...and some of those are 1.0mm pitch..ugh..the 2.00mm stuff was bad enough
I don't have any PS3 yet, so I haven't seen those. The 3V PS/3 connectors look surprisingly like the 5V ones, which I find a bit curious. When I get the Hirose ones, I'll see how close they are to the 3V PS2 connectors.
Very close and similiar design, but the connector molding is slightly different so they don't fit. I actually toyed with removing the female receptical. The smaller molex come off easily, but the PS-2 did not look like they would come off very easily and not worth risking breaking a pin on a $120 board. G
