If USB is this bad, I shudder to think what horrors lurk within Thunderbolt.

trying with a splitter and see what happens.

[qubes-users] PS/2 Combo keyboard / mouse port

2018-12-15 Thread John Smiley
Read some interesting things about USB on your site and now I want to change 
over from USB keyboard and mouse to PS/2.  My mobo has a single port that 
combines both in what they (Gigabyte) describe as a PS/2 port.  Can I just slap 
an adapter onto my existing keyboard and mouse (say a PS/2 port splitter and a 
couple of USB to PS/2 adapters) or do I need a keyboard and mouse that are 
natively PS/2?
