You want to run two input threads that post into a common buffer.  One
input thread would block on the keyboard, and the other input thread would
block on the mouse.  There must be a semaphore used to control access to
the common buffer by these two threads and by the third thread that reads
results out of the common buffer.  The semaphore is needed to make sure
that events from the keyboard and mouse are posted into the buffer in their
original order.
