Well I'm getting an ibook soon so I will be needing an inexpensive KVM switch soulution for that and my pc desktop system so I can switch my keyboard, mouse, monitor back and forth between the two at home. Heres the thing my keyboard is a PS2 keyboard and my mouse is a microsoft intellimouse that can eather be run via PS2 with its included adapter or usb. I curently use ps2 with my mouse hooked to my windows pc. The ibook doesnt have ps2 conectors on it only usb.

So one option I was thinking of doing is geting something like this switch
TRENDnet TK-205I KVM Switch with Integrated Cables - Retail
Then geting this
PPA-USA 3435 USB to PS/2 Adapter
PS2 to usb adapter and pluging the switch into this on one side then have this adapter hook into the ibook
PPA-USA 3435 USB to PS/2 Adapter

Does anyone know of a beter method? like a KVM switch that my keyboard and mouse is PS2 going into it but on the outputs to each comp it uses usb instead?
