Good!  As you say, that's one less possible issue.  I hadn't known that 
(you may have mentioned it before, but if so, I'd forgotten.)  Depending 
on what this test shows, you might want to get a PS2/USB adapter and see 
if it makes any difference.  Then, if it's the port that's unreliable, 
you don't need to buy a new keyboard.
