               1. A system for connecting users via their utilization of computer peripherals, comprising: 
            a mouse operated by a first user, the mouse comprising: 
                a first sensor; 
                  a first electronic processing device; 
                  a network device in communication with the first electronic processing device; and 
                  a first memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the first electronic processing device, result in: 
                receiving a first reading from the first sensor; and 
                    transmitting, to a keyboard and by the network device, a first signal indicative of the first reading, and 
                  the keyboard operated by a second user, the keyboard comprising: 
              an output component; 
                  a second electronic processing device; 
                  a second memory storing (i) second instructions that, when executed by the second electronic processing device, result in: 
                receiving the first signal from the mouse; 
                    classifying a first action of the first user based on the first signal; 
                    identifying, based on the classification of the first action, a first output command comprising an instruction defining a first output for the keyboard; and 
                    outputting, via the output component, the first output in accordance with the instruction.
