Adapters, computer systems, and methods utilize a signal pass-through for input devices to the computer system. The pass-through occurs through an adapter for the computer system that provides a housing having a first and second connector. The first connector can be connected to the input connector of the computer, such as a PS/2 connector. The second connector can be connected to a connector of the input device, such as another PS/2 connector. A cable extends from the housing so that signals from the input device are transferred through the second connector and away from the housing while signals to the computer are transferred to the housing and ultimately through the first connector to the computer. Another device, such as a network device, may be connected to the other end of the cable to receive the input device signal, receive input signals from other sources such as a network, and then deliver an input signal back to the computer through the cable and first connector.
