Sharing Keyboard and Mouse between Mac and PC

Hey Folks,

At work we're total Microsoft, but I'm total Mac at home I've been
throwing around the idea of getting a Mini Mac for work, but I'd like
to continue using my USB mouse and keyboard I use now on Windows with
the Mini Mac. I already have dual monitors on the PC, so I'd just use
one with Windows and one with OSX.

So... I need some easy method to switch between Windows and OSX for the
Keyboard and Mouse only. Granted I can get a KVM, but those are
pricey, and I don't need the video part of it. Since both are USB do
they make such a thing as USB switchboxes? I guess I could also run a
cable to both the PC and Mac and just plug-in the appropriate cable as
needed, but I'll be switching between both quite a bit, so a single
button would be simpler.

Suggestions?? Is there a cheap and easy solution for this? If I have
to spend $50+ on a KVM I will, but I'd rather not if there's a cheaper
method.

Thanks,

Ringo

Two system KVM switches are NOT pricey on ebay. A search discovers that
many sell for under $10. You will need a pair of cheap USB to PSU
adapters for the Mac side. Since the KVM will come with the monitor
switching ability anyway, you can keep your dual monitors on the PC and
just occassionally switch one over to the Mac. Please do the standard
"will a KVM work on my system" test...unplug the mouse and keyboard
from each system, wait a minute or so and plug them back in. If the
keyboard and mouse work like they were never disconnected, then you are
KVM ready.
