I've got a few Lantronix Spiders and I love them; however, I would opt
to get the external power adapter instead of just relying on the unit
drawing power from the computer it's connected to.
Also, there is a PS2 + USB model available that I'd recommend getting if
you have any older gear which doesn't support USB keyboards while in the
BIOS.
I think they go for around $260 + another $20 or so for the external
power adapter.
