So a friend ask me that if I have any shop near my house that sell USB to PS/2 adapter, buy it for him. And I found a shop near me that sell the adapter, but when I checked their website, it’s said that “you can plug in with 1 mouse 1 keyboard or 2 mice or 2 keyboards”. It is true?  The last time I check on Wikipedia was purple is keyboard and green is a mouse

Normally these ports are not interchangeable, but we have seen PS/2 ports on motherboards and such that can take either one of the devices (so it's a combined purple and green port), so it's not out of the realm of possibility that they added that tech to this adapter.

 

 

I wouldnt count on that though, especially since two PS/2 mice on one system... Is that really needed?
