hey all this is my first post just need a little problem resolving

i bought a D-Link 2-port KVM (from amazon.co.uk)switch to use with my laptop and 360 on my LCD tv!
however, i didnt know was that i need to actually connect the p/s2 ends into a computer, or the KVM doesnt work. problem is my laptop only has usb, so i cant use the box.

do i need to get a male USB to female p/s2 adapters, converting a USB port into a p/s2 keyboard and mouse port. will this allow me to plug the leads from the KVM into it?

and how can i get my 360 (VGA lead) to work through my KVM since it doesnt have p/s2 inputs? on the review of the product on amazon.co.uk, a guy says he just plugged the keyboard ps/2 male part of the lead coming from the KVM, into the computer!

if anyone has experience with KVM's could they please have a look, and see how i can get round my problem?

cheers

USB to PS\2 adaptors cost peanuts so i would suggest is giving it a try mate.

Nothing to lose really. :)

Any high street store will rip you off for them.

But try PC world if you wanna pay a tenner+ each mate.
