    Why is this so hard to find? Does anyone know of a KVM for a USB keyboard/mouse combo that isn't outrageous in price?

    I don't own any PS/2 connections for ANYTHING any more, & I don't think one of my systems even HAS that connection on the mobo ... but I have 2 systems that I need to switch between.

    I can understand if big server KVM's still had PS/2, but with the overwhelming popularity of USB kybs & mice, I am stunned that a KVM for that setup is so hard to find.

    (I'm afraid to even consider looking for one with DVI over analog!! lol)

    Thanks ... I'll check those out.

    So ... here's an odd curveball ... is there any way to make this work if I have a flat panel monitor that has USB ports on it? I would presume it might work if I got a kvm of some sort that attached to the computer via USB, because the USB cable from the monitor would have to go somewhere ...

    bah!

    I still can't believe that it is so hard to find a USB KVM, considering that PS/2 is relatively "ancient" (by computer standards, at least) ...

    At any rate ... thanks for the links & I'll start by checking those out ...
