I have done this several times and never had a problem.

Citizens United
violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.
So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over.”

Yes, this is absolutely possible. It's routine for me, even.

Yes, if the keyboard uses the AT protocol, which is the same as the PS/2 protocol.
The XT protocol, however, uses the same large DIN connector.
