Default hmm anyone switch between pc/mac?

hey there.. me AGAIN!!

Ok heres the thing

i got 1 monitor 1 keys 1 mouse and a pc and a mac...

i wana switch between the mac mini and pc using the 1 set of keys mouse and monitor...

the switch box i have switched 2 pc's (ie monitor and 2 sets of ps2 connectors)
the mac mini i have uses USB for keys and mouse..

do you think but putting ps2 to usb changers on the switch boxes end that it will work???

i ask becasue the switch box relies on all 3 connections (mouse keys and monitor) to be connected before it works..

see my little predicament?? LOL

I did that with 2 pcs actually and it worked.
Bought them for less than a dollar at www.newegg.com

You need a KVM - ( keyboard-video-mouse) that is an auto switcher. Double click the Scroll LOock key and the KVM switches to the other comoputer automatically. It doesn't care if you plug a PS2 mouse or USB mouse - as long as you use the correct adapters, the correct signal will be sent.
