I have experienced the same problem on my Gateway 9150se. Actually, the
keyboard or the mouse will work, but not both (depends on which device is
plugged into which cable). I came to the conclusion that either the port was
not designed for both at the same time, or the devices that I was using were
not designed to be paralleled.
When I read the small print on the back of the packaging for the connecter,
it read "This adaptor allows you to connect two PS2 devices, such as your
mouse and keyboard to the one PS/2 port. Typically used with notebooks where
only one PS2 port is available. Does not allow simultaneous use of the two
devices". Kinda makes you wonder what's the point!
