In the section below general keyboard and mouse operation is described, so you can write your own drivers if you wish.
The driver we used for the Propeller driver supports both keyboard and mouse, but it’s not integrated thus a core is
needed for each driver object – a bit wasteful.
12.1 Keyboard Operation
The keyboard protocol is straightforward and works as follows; for every key pressed there is a "scan code" referred to
as the "make code" that is sent, additionally when every key released there is another scan code referred to as the
"break code" that in most cases is composed of $E0 followed by the original make code scan value. However, many
keys may have multiple make codes and break codes. Table 12.2 lists the scan codes for keyboards running in default
mode (startup).

As noted, the PS/2 interface works the same for keyboards and mice, the protocols are
different, but the low level serial and hardware interfaces are the same. Thus, if you plug
a mouse into the port, it would work the same, the clock and data lines would be in the
same place. Thus, all you would have to do is write the driver.
