I'm using the unit with an old style tactile -feel keyboard and a USB mouse. Works flawlessly. As to your specific use, the only way is to contact the manufacturer of both pieces of equipment; or buy it and try it.

This adapts a PS2 keyboard/mouse to a USB docking station. The PS2 connectors are female.

If your keyboard has a pair of PS2 connectors on it, this ought to work fine. One connector is for the keyboard and the other for the built-in touchpad or mouse. Mark Kinsler, Lancaster, Ohio USA

Yes, the legacy ps/2 connection is the only one of its sort for peripherals, all others are usb.

No - this is for attaching music devices. Try this instead: http://www.amazon.com/PS2-Keyboard-To-USB-Adapter/dp/B000BSJFJS/

All I know is that the ps2 plug fits and the onboard chip works to convert it to USB. I wouldn't think anything past that should be a concern unless this keyboard had special requirements with the standard ps2 connection.

You can plug two USB devices into the KVM switch and both devices will work on each machine, one machine at a time. Each machine will only need the one USB cable coming from the KVM switch to operate both USB devices.

this adaptor converts from usb to RS232 serial. If that is what you are trying to do it will work well. It is not for VGA as that is a video format.

There are all kinds of PS2 to USB adapters online. If you have a Radio Shack near you, they probably have some. Good luck. I wish they still made these pointers. Even their current ones aren't as good as the Trackman Marble FX

You can hook up a regular or HDMI monitor, and it has provision for USB & PS2 keyboards and mice. So you should be fine.

If your powered KVM (and attached devices) support USB it sure will.Unpowered KVMs might not work.

I have the Belkin Flip KVM switch and this mouse did NOT work with it; the switch did not recognize that the mouse was plugged in to it.

This will connect a ps2 keyboard and mouse to a USB port. If the older MAC used a PS2 keyboard and mouse it should work, however I'm not sure Mac ever used PS/2

This adapter works for any PS2 Keyboard and/or PS2 mouse. There are picture icons on the connectors, indicating which one is the mouse connector, & which one is the keyboard connector. They did not use green & violet color coding on this adapter. In order to boot up to keyboard & mouse, you must plug your usb connector into a usb port on the back of your computer (which are your motherboard usb ports), that recognizes installed devices at bootup. Try the usb port in the upper left hand corner of the usb grouping first. I do not know what type of computer you have, but most computers should have a bootable usb port.

I don't think it will. I bought one to connect a PS/2 keyboard and it won't work. I'm not sure how it's supposed to be used. May be worth a try, since it's not that expensive.

I have never tried using it with one computer. If you only have one computer, why would you need a KVM switch? Try disconnecting the un-used port and see if it works.

Using this adapter to connect a PS/2 style keyboard to the KVM switch, yes.
