Switch between 2 pc's with 1 mouse and keyboard

Just need a switch really that will allow me to swap between 2 pc's using 1 mouse and 1 keyboard, no need to switch video signals as me dell 2407 has dual inputs, problem im having is a lot of these are PS2 port only which is fine for the keyboard but my mouse is USB, is there any way to do this cheaply?

I think Belkin do a USB KVM switch; or look for a PS/2 to USB converter (or vica-versa)

Yeah, you can get a USB KVM from Belkin

A fair few of the newer ones can switch sound as well :cool:

Take a google at Synergy too for a free software solution.

Wouldnt there be an element of lag using that though, even if its only a milisecond its still noticeable onthe mouse, also doesnt mention vista support, thanks for the link though.
