i own an imac G5 and a PC, i hate having 2 keyboards and 2 mice.

what i would like to do is share the one keyboard and mouse between both computers, but all i can seem to find are KVM switches, but all i want is a switch that has USB and nothing else, does anyone know of anything i could use ?

I just bought something like that from the US, to switch between two Macs. It works quite well, and I'm very happy with it.

After you get something like this, you might find this MacOSXHints.com articles useful.

Cool - that looks like the business. Have you noticed any lag having it patched through the switch?

just wondering...
why a usb switch when what you need to have is just two usb extension cable?
one for each 'puter..
a simple two-step job with no lag to worry about

You could also get a USB KVM and just _not_use_ the monitor ports.

You mean like in games? I haven't had any problems playing games like Command and Conquerer or Knights of the Old Republic.

There is a short delay in switching between one computer and the other. Switching also causes both computers to wake from sleep.

I was using manually swapping the keyboard over before hand, but it's just too much annoyance. Now I just whack a button, and half a sec later, have access to the other computer.

USB Switches are around $30 or so. Try to get one that has a rotary switch rather than push button, as I have found them to be considerably more reliable.
