An alternative would be to not use the Amiga keyboard. Get a PS2 keyboard adapter for your Amiga so you can use a PS2 keyboard with it. Then use a PS2 switchbox so you can use the same keyboard with either computer.

The usb -> ps2 adapter would need to be something you coded together yourself (with a microcontroller), as the Keyrah cannot speak PS2, only USB.

Most of those small USB -> PS2 adapters are just connector adapters and the chip inside the keyboard or mouse knows to switch to ps2 mode.

Yes you are right, the small ones which just adapt the connector won't work in a PS2 port if the keyboard (or Keyrah in this case) is outputting USB data instead of PS2. But you can get intelligent USB to PS2 adapters which actually convert a USB keyboard to PS2.
