    What kind of keyboard/mouse? For USB, the limit is 5M for USB2.0.

    Is there a reason you can't use a wireless keyboard/mouse combo?

    It's about noise. I have to put the machine out in the hall and close the door. I suppose they might work through a door.

    You could try one with a repeater built in:

    Actually, you would need 2, 1 for the keyboard and one for the mouse, unless you get a keyboard with a trackpad built in, but try one first in case it doesn't work.
