Use 'possono' for a plural subject; 'può' is singular.
Sì, possono controllare la tua mouse e la tua tastiera.
The noun 'mouse' is masculine, so the correct possessive is 'il tuo mouse'.

Possessive adjectives must agree with the gender of the noun; 'tua' matches 'tastiera', not 'il'.

Cultural Tip
In Italian, 'mouse' is treated as a masculine noun (il mouse) even though the English word ends with a consonant that often signals feminine gender in Italian. 'Tastiera' is always feminine (la tastiera). When using possessive adjectives, match the gender: 'il tuo mouse' and 'la tua tastiera'. Also, in formal contexts you might prefer 'possono accedere' instead of the more colloquial 'possono controllare'.
