I'm wondering, if the keyboard USB was being routed through a pointer device
PS/2 adapter, has our friend considered now trying a keyboard USB to PS/2
adapter? I'm sure the pin configurations are completely different.

However, during his time testing, how did he manage to have both a mouse and a
keyboard plugged in at the same time if both were using pointer device PS/2? I
have not seen a board that provided two PS/2 for the same device type before.
