This is a dumb question and I feel stupid for asking, but shouldn't USB 2.0 be backwards compatible with the older USB ports?

Not totally sure what you are getting at but USB 2 devices will work in older USB ports just at a slower speed!!!!

USB 2 is backward compatible with USB 1.1, no problem.

yes it is. in fact in the BIOS settings there is a choice of setting USB 2 ports to full speed (12Mbs)
or high speed (480Mbs)
so if you are having issues with some mice, keyboards or other older USB devices changing the BIOS setting should remedy the problems.
