originally i had to get a bytecc bt-2000 usb to ps2 adapter for my laptop and now i'm ordering another for my new destop which does not have a mouse ps2 input.

$28.00 Est. at Amazon

from dan, www.newegg.com
it's possible to build a nearly complete system with free shipping up to the point where you add a couple of case fans, some small cable adapters, etc.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
i bought a $4 ps/2 to usb adapter for it and the keyboard wouldn't work.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
imo, this way is much better than having to plug yet another adapter into the wall.
from www.amazon.com
couple downfalls are that the sub ports are specific to mouse and keyboard, not allowing for other devices, and the usb ports are too close, making it difficult to plug in anything usb that is not

from www.amazon.com
i use a ps/2 to usb adapter and it works great.
from www.amazon.com
i tried different adapters and other solutions to no avail, and ultimately had to go to a usb switch to get full functionality with the mouse.
from www.amazon.com
i bought an adapter to get around the issue, but the combo of the kvm and the ps2-to-usb adapter seems to absorb many of the special functions from the keyboard.
from www.amazon.com
works with one usb dongle for kb & m so much less cables on my desk.

from N/A, www.newegg.com
comes with all necessary items (ac adapter, 4 sets of kvm cables).
from www.amazon.com
however, a keyboard that is both usb and ps2 compatible can be connected, using a usb to ps2 adapter, and will work just fine.
from www.amazon.com
once or twice when using my usb-based backup mouse, an o/s has failed to recognize it after i switched systems (unplugging and replugging the usb wireless adapter will usually fix the problem).

other thoughts: it doesn't come with any adaptors.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
you don't need an adapter to connect the monitor as one reviewer said.
from www.amazon.com
feet to the monitor you should be sure to have (or order) a dvi male-to-female extension cable (or a female-to-female dvi gender changer adapter to use with an existing standard dvi monitor cable).
from N/A, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: i bought this because i wanted a kvm switch that didn't need any adapters.
from www.amazon.com

this is what a kvm should be, and it doesn't require any extra power adapters or boxes to perform.
from www.amazon.com
i tried the competing belkin model (f1dg102d) and, while about $30 more expensive, it works well (though it does use a power adapter, while the iogear does not).

- mac mini with apple mini display port to dvi adapter
from Ronzo, www.newegg.com
as we emphasized this is a dvi-d kvm, meaning this kvm support dvi’s digital signal only; therefore, a dvi-a to vga adapter will not work on this device because vga is an analog signal.
