I recently purchased a PS2 wireless keyboard/mouse combo board. I already have a PS2 mouse and a PS2 keyboard. Is is it possible to use two PS2 Y cables and connect both mice and both keyboards to my computer at the same time? They would never be used at the same time. I'm trying to avoid pluging and unpluging when I want to svitch between the two. I also don't want to order the PS2Y cables if this won't work.
Thanks, Paperclip

The easiest way to do it would be to use one of the switches made for the purpose. Have a look HERE (http://www.kvm-switches-online.com/).

kvm switches work the other way, 2 comps 1 KB and mouse.

Look at this thread (http://www.pcguide.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=20719)

Hi paperclip-
There was a fairly recent thread concerning this same issue.

Also, something that concerned me a little bit was this:..... I'm trying to avoid plugging and unplugging when I want to switch between the two.

Please note that you don't want to be unplugging and plugging in ps-2 devices while the computer is on! it's possible to damage your motherboard this way!
(If you already knew that, forgive me) ;)

(Edit) Woops! Beat me to it on that one malcore! And yes, you can see in the other thread that I was thinking the other way around too...Almost mentioned that! ;)
Funny we both thought of that thread at the same time...You must have been a bit faster than me looking it up! :D

These might cost more than you would like to spend, but there are such devices:
