So, for motherboards that have a combo port PS/2 keybaord and mouse, but not a dedicated port for PS/2 keyboard and a dedicated port for PS/2 mouse, are there splitters that can work for combo ports, so that you can use a splitter to the combo port and then use both a PS/2 keyboard and a PS/2 mouse, rather than just one at a time? I assume not because of not being able to split the data. Just checking to be sure.

There are, found some with just your title in my favorite search engine.

 

the problem with these most are passive ones e.g. you got a laser mouse and a RGB keyboard with PS/2 they won't work cause the don't get enough power.

 

More Problems, they might not work with every MB out there because manufactures from adapters mostly don't know how the MB itself detect what signal is for what (mouse or keyboard, left click or f key press), what you said with the data.

 

But for you question, there are! 

(But they might not work for everyone)

 

If you really need 2 x PS/2 there are ones for USB.

or just go with 2 USB devices.

I think there is no MB out there which doesn't support USB mouse and keyboard but got a combo PS/2 port, please refute me if there are.

tl;dr: there are!

Correct me if i'm wrong, learning is a lifelong mission
