Hi  all,
 
I have been very lucky in obtaining some 48 way cat 5 patch panels with krone connectors from work which I am setting up at home, currently I have 12 cables from the lounge to the patch panel 8 fully wired, 4 part wired for future use. These will mainly be used for audio and video throughout the house.
 
Being a good husaband :-) (I am nearly getting a new tv) I bought Who wants to be a millionaire (me) for my good wife. As my pc is tucked away in a large cupboard, the family have been watching it on the tv in the lounge, only problem is I am left to operate the pc...
 
Is it feasible without amplifying the signal to link the pc keyboard and mouse into cat 5 sockets and to plug them in the lounge, both are PS2. Additionally is this feasible to do with the joystick, as this could increase the fun when friends are round and we are playing motorbike or GP3 (xmas pressy).
