For my new setup I want a KVM or KM to connect one keyboard/mouse to my 4 extra PC's. Here are my requirments in a product:

Must be able to use PS/2 or USB

Must have independant switching buttons for each PC on the unit (To go from 1 to 7 i dont want to have to press a button 7 times, I just wanna press a button to switch right to the PC I need access to).

Must be an 8 port unit.

Currently I was looking at this unit, it has everything I need but it costs $400: http://www.kvms.com/products/F1DA108T+6USB.asp

You just press Scroll Lock + numbers 1-8 to select which comp u want to access at a time.

I have my multiplexer connected to one of the KM switch ports so I can either broadcast to all 5 pcs or individual pcs.

Looks cool but 3 of my PC's do not accept PS/2 so I want a solution that will accept USB as well.

So do each of your Pc's have two keyboard inputs to them? One from the KVM and one from the Multiplexer? How do you have 2 x PS/2 Keyboard inputs on your Pc? Some kind of Keyboard Y adapter?
