Raritan makes small 2- and 4-port switches; I've got a combo PS2/USB 4-port
running in my office (being able to accept both means I can just drop
client machines in to work on 'em, whether they're older or newer.)
HOWEVER--I've only had about 75% success with this company. While I've
never had a problem with my heterogeneous setup here, sometimes the
switch at some client sites will lock up and have to be totally unplugged
(power supply _and_ all cables) to reset. Raritan has pretty much just
shipped replacement switches when I've complained.
I've had much worse luck with Belkin, StarTech, and a few others; so-so
luck with TrippLite's 2-port switch.
