PC 1 - has usb keyboard and mouse PC 2 - has PS/2 keyboard and mouse

Uh Tony you might want to re-read the post. His question concerns the fact that one computer uses PS2 inputs and the other uses USB.
Chrismr, does the computer with PS2 KB & Mouse have USB ports and/or does the computer with USB KB & Mouse have PS2 ports? If the two machines have both of one type of connection then you can get a KVM switch with that (i.e. both with PS2 or both with USB).
If, for some reason, one computer ONLY has PS2 and the other one ONLY has USB (unlikely), you can get a USB KVM switch and use a couple of USB to PS2 adapters.
