KVM for computers without PS2 ports

I often need to connect new computers to a KVM switch during configuration
(to avoid having a second monitor/keyboard/mouse at my desk just for new PC
configuration).

The newer computers do not have PS2 ports, however, and I have not had any
success getting a USB mouse and/or keyboard to work using a USB-to-PS2
adapter between the keyboard/mouse and the KVM switch.

Any ideas? Is there any such thing as a USB KVM switch or a way to get an
adapter to work through a PS2 KVM switch?

There are plenty of KVM's with usb support. I went to NewEgg and looked
for KVM's and see some with usb support from Belkin, TRENDnet, IOGEAR,
and Linksys. Check with your favorite online dealer.
