USB Switch For Keyboard/Mouse

Tempest

Will a USB 2.0 switch box work with early Mac USB keyboards and mice (which are not 2.0)? I want to use my mouse and keyboard with two different Macs (an iMac and Cube) but all the USB switch boxes I see are 2.0. I assume it's all backwards compatible.

 
This should work fine. USB 1.0/1.1 and USB 2.0 are very compatible. I've only heard of issues with some USB 3.0 hubs on USB 2.0 systems, but even then seems intermittent.
