I have both a Powermac G4 and a Custom-built PC sitting on the same desk. I want to use just one monitor, one keyboard and one mouse to control both my Powermac G4 and my 3GHz PC. I do not want a wireless kybrd/mouse...I want everything corded & plugged into my USB KVM...so I can switch back-n-forth between my Mac and my PC.

I just bought a USB KVM Switch (IOGEAR Miniview GCS102U) which should work perfectly with any USB Keyboard & Mouse I buy: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817107129


What mouse should I buy??? I'm looking at:
1) Kensington PilotMouse Optical Pro: http://kensington.com/html/4006.html
2) Logitech MX 510: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/pr...CONTENTID=8070
3) Apple MightyMouse: but how will it perform when I switch my KVM to my PC?
4) Anything else you think I should buy instead?

What keyboard should I buy?
I need a keyboard that will work best on both a Mac and a PC (i.e. the ALT button works on the PC side and the Apple Control button (modifier button) works on the Mac side)
1) I've been looking at the Kensington 64366 SlimType: http://kensington.com/html/5463.html but I want it to work FULLY with my PC

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

The mighty mouse will simply appear as a two-button scroll wheel mouse on the PC.
Any USB keyboard for a Mac will work on the PC as well. Only that the option (alt) and command (windows) keys will be reversed. If you use a PC USB keyboard, Mac OS X Tiger will let you swap the keys back to where they belong.

Well if you ask me you had start thinking of carpel tunnel syndrome. I was hit with a bout a couple of weeks back and some kind people pointed me to the microsoft ergo ekyboard which HAS helped ALOT. (No pain for days.)

But I would wait a couple of weeks as theya are coming out with a new verrsion

The cursor keys are a little small on the basic ergo keyboard so i am buying one of the above when they ship.

In order to map the command and option key you need to go into the keypboard pref and change the mod keys once.
