Keyboard & Pointing Device USB to PS/2 Conversions and visa-versa

[HenriK]

I own a collection of both and new PCs and want to buy a new KVM
switcher so I can use a single keyboard/monitor/pointing device with
them. The most interesting recent KVM switches have moved from PS/2
keyboard and pointing device interfaces to USB interfaces.

How easy is it to convert from USB to PS/2 (and visa-versa) and how
reliable are the conversion adaptors and cables I see advertised?

Many thanks, in advance, for any and all advice, information,
suggestions, and warnings.

PS/2 to USB conversions are the standard way possible. USB to PS/2
does not semm to be possible.
