slothman32's Journal: powered kmv switch

I need a powered kvm switch.
I have a model-M, clicky kb, with a ps2 connector.
I also have a USB computer.
Ps2 connectors and unpowered kvm switches don't like ps2-to-usb converters.

Anyone know of a powered kvm that has two ps2 inputs for mouse and keyboard with a USB output?
Actually one of the outputs needs to be converted to ps2 for one computer and the other must remain usb.

I don't know if a kvm can convert a ps2-to-usb, input it as a mouse/kb, switch it, and convert the output back into ps2.

Not necessarily a problem...

I have a KVM I use in the manner you described, it happens to be a USB KVM switch I bought cheap from radioshack. My PS/2 kb and mouse are connected to it via a PS/2->USB adapter that puts them both into a single USB connector and everything seems fine. You can pick up cheap USB KVM switches for very little money, I'd try that with a PS/2->USB adapter (often sold as a laptop keyboard adapter) first and see if you can get by with the cheap solution before you run around looking for an expensive switc
