    Keyboard splitter

    I was thinking about using two wireless keyboards and two wireless mice, but they won't transmit far enough, only about 1 - 1.5m. If there was some way of beefing up the signal, that still wouldn't solve my problem, as I want to use my old AT keyboards, I have about ten of them (Viglen make...

    Keyboard splitter

    The problem isn't caused by distance, I've tried it with an AT keyboard going through an AT to PS/2 adaptor, and into a PS/2 to USB adaptor, with no extension lead, and the same problem occurs. A PS/2 keyboard works absolutely fine with the PS/2 to USB adaptor on the same lead. I've tried it...

    Keyboard splitter

    Hi guys (and gals!) - I keep my computer in a separate room from my bedroom, and use extension PS2, USB and monitor leads, to route the signals into my bedroom through a small hole in the wall (as I want a silent room to work in). I have now routed a second set of leads downstairs to a spare...
