I've got a macintosh keyboard and usb wireless mouse that I want to use with 2 systems.
What kind of Kvm do I need?
BTW, the keyboard will not work with a usb to ps2 connector.

i can't believe how expensive these things still are.

I have a usb..4port kvm...brand says MiniView..around $100 at newegg that should work for you. I have 4 machines on it, one has usb connections only. No probs so far.:D

Gracias guys. I might check one out but for 180 I think I'll put up with my 2 monitors for a bit longer. ;)

Yeah...for 2 machines, I can't see the price. I have seen 2 port KVMs for under $50.

will that Mac keyboard work correctly with a PC?

Yes, but I had to get a USB card for it to work. It for whatever reason wouldn't work on my on board usb ports.
That, and I don't know yet how well it will work with Linux. That's my second machine. And I'll be putting up a third soon hopefully.
