Since I think we can forget about a full USB stack for the USB ports on the V4SA, at least for the near future. I'm considering a different way to share keyboard, mouse and joystick between multiple Amiga's.

With PS2 adapters on big box Amigas, X68000 and PS2 support on my Amy-ITX I was wondering whether a USB to PS2 adapter with PS2 keyboard would work on a V4SA. Something like this: EXTERNAL LINK 
Anyone tried it?

you can also get usb to ps2 mouse n ps2 keyboard adaptor too

EXTERNAL LINK 
thus only using one usb port too

Does that work on the V4SA? I thought the USB ports had dedicated separate mouse and keyboard functions? But if this is the case I could also look for these Amiga mouse to ps2 convertors and hook them up on a purely ps2 switch box and maybe take a single 4 port RS232 switch box for a single joystick switch?

Sorry to bump this, but can I indeed order such a USB to both keyboard & mouse ps2? I somehow think it won't work given the limited scope of the separate USB ports. Or maybe it will only work with a keyboard if I put it in the keyboard USB port. If so, that will be more than good enough.

Anyone know if there is an adapter to use an actual Amiga keyboard with v4sa through USB or DB9?

I know they are expensive but I think it would bring back some of that nostalgia. I had an A2000.
