KVM switch from PC to Mac

So here's my dilemma.
I need to have a kvm switch that'll go to an apple G5 and apple media server in addition to 4 other pc's. I've been doing some research but it's hard to find a kvm switch that is recommended for that. I don't need the audio or extra stuff. It's mainly to access all those computers without going into the control room they all live in.
I know I don't want to do an IP KVM since the hardwire already exists to just hook them up. I'm also trying to use a usb mouse and keyboard.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
switching back and forth about 50 times a day (2 xp boxes and a g5 mac) - use my old dell keyboard and a usb mouse, and it's worked great. the only thing i occasionally hit is that the kvm has keyboard shortcuts to switch and i accidentally trigger part of them with an alt-shift style combo that i have to then repeat to get it out of that listening mode - but that's probably about 3 times a week switching a ton of times...
