Does your keyboard and mouse have Mac Drivers? If so, I think it
should work.

how the instruction booklet tells you to attach your USB keyboard
and mouse
to the console and then attach the cables from the console to your
USB ports
on your computer BUT the console DOES NOT have USB ports.
I have been using one of these things for a year with my Powerbook
G4 and a B&W. What ever keyboard you plug into the PS/2 port will
be recognized as a standard 101 keyboard. None of the special keys
will be recognized. I have a Logitech Internet Navigator and none
of the special buttons work.
My KVM switch uses the USB port from the client computer for power.
This causes me all kinds of grief. I purchased a powered USB Hub
and that solved most of my issues. The G4 Power Book works fine but
the B&W has a "bug". The USB port does not get enabled in the boot
process till after the monitor is detected... So the B&W would boot
headless... To solve the bug I reset B&W after I see the USB hub
light up or I start the powerbook then the B&W.
This KVM switch works great with my flat pannel LCD. I wish I could
use the special keys. I also use this solution with two dell laptops.
I would personally not recommend the usb/ps2 kvm switch but it will
work.
