Y-key key Dual Keyboard Adapter (WHYM-275)
 Simultaneously connect a special and
standard keyboard to the same port
 Quick access to both standard and kid’s
keyboard
 Perfect for computers requiring input from
two locations, i.e. two sides of a desk or
two adjacent rooms
Use 2 keyboards from the same PC! The Y-key key is the simple way to attach
two keyboards to one computer, because it allows simultaneous connection of two
keyboards to the same keyboard port.
The Y-key key can be daisy chained to provide several keyboard ports from one.
Most keyboards draw about 40 ma, but in rare cases they can draw up to 175 ma;
for this reason, we do not recommend connecting more than 3 or 4 keyboards to
one port. The current carrying capacity of the keyboard port should be determined
before connecting multiple Y-key keys.
