New keyboard and KVM issues

[Trigger]

I recently bought a new Win 7 computer, and am keeping my old XP machine running side by side for some time until I'm fully up to speed with the new machine.

A KVM switch was thrown in with the purchase, but it's a VGA switch, and my monitor was hooked up with a DVI cable, and the PQ is now downgraded to an unacceptable level.

So, I find the Trendnet TK-204UK DVI KVM switch on Amazon. Great!

Oops - it's USB, and my keyboard & mouse are PS/2.

Ok, I'll just buy a new USB KB & mouse.

Searched for keyboards.

I discover the Logitech illuminated KB (USB). Ya ya, I want that one; great reviews.

Oops, now I read about all of the problems people have had with these particular KBs working with KVMs. Doh!

But perhaps they're talking about older KVMs - none of the things I read are conclusive or clear. So does anyone know if this combo will work, or would the more basic K120 (non-illuminated) KB be less problematic with that Trendnet KVM?

Thanks for the reply. The present VGA switch I'm using works fine, but because of the poorer PQ I really want to use a DVI KVM switch, and it appears that the DVI ones have problems with KB & mouse.

As it turns out, Logitech KB & mice do not work well with KVM switches, so all I'm looking for is a KB & mouse (USB, not wireless) that will work with a DVI KVM switch.

The Trendnet has some poor reviews. The ATEN CS62DU looks a little better.
