Actually any USB KVM switch should work without problems. I have run into many problems in the past (I am in IT) with PS2 KVM's and trying to use a USB to PS2 adapter. You dont have to spend $150 on a new KVM, there are some on ebay for like $50.00. Granted they are not a name brand, but it will work better then your PS2 to USB.
I own a custom built windows machine and a mac mini, and I use a Belkin KVM switch to switch between the two.
I wasn't able to get the HP printer (Which is hooked via USB to the Windows) to install on the mac over our network, so I found an old USB hub, plugged the mouse (which uses a ps/2 to usb converter), the keyboard, and the printer into the hub, then the hub into the KVM. Everything works fine with out a problem. All you do is hit the switch on the KVM and it switches the Speakers, Moniter, Keyboard, Mouse, and Printer between the two machines.
Only downside is that I can't use the DVI connection on my LCD. For awhile I didn't use the KVM to switch to the moniter so that I could take advantage of the DVI (Through the mini of course), but the family found it two difficult with more steps to switch between the machines, so now were running off of analog (Not a huge difference anyway).
Pretty flawless. Occasionally it wont switch properly, but that only happens every so often and is eaisly switched by switching back a forth once or twice.
