Dumb KVM switch question...

[n7]

Will having a KVM switch (for monitor/keyboard/mouse) between two of my PCs slow down my mouse/keyboard response for gaming at all?

Just curious if any performance degrade has been noticed by anyone.

No degradation for me.

Highly doubt it. It's just a switch, not a translator or anything.

nope, stuff works just as if it was connected right to your PC

i use one at work, for 3 PC's (on my desk)

I've seen stray posts saying they had troubles with really cheap kvm's. I've never had any issues with my 8 port though. Unreal and Quake worked ok.

Thanx for the replies guys 🙂

After some UT2k4, i've decided i agree; it seems to be fine.
