    I have a new PB and I need to get a kvm to attach it to my current desktop setup. I am looking for a recommendation for a good, cheap, 2 system kvm that i know works well with macs.

    Need:
    USB output for PB
    output can be ps2 or USB for desktop.
    2 computer unit (4 if it's cheap)
    I'm getting memory from newegg, so it would be nice if it was there too...

    that's it.

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    Belkin. Make sure the one you get also lets you plug in your speakers so you can use those between the two.

    I have a Belkin F1DK102UUK KVM which I've used between my PC and Mini Mac. For the price its not bad, you dont get sound switching tho.

    It can be a bit buggy sometimes i.e. mouse and keyboard not switching over properly, randomly switching to the other screen when you boot up the PC. Sometimes PC doesnt recognise it, although I blame MS for that :)

    But for £25, I really cant complain. Came with cables and stuff :D
