Does KVM introduces Input Lag in Keyboard and Mouse ?

[Soumyadeep Ghosh]

Currently I have 2 setup - My Personal Desktop, and my Office Laptop. I share the monitor among the two with one connected at DP and another at HDMI. Now the issue is I need to maintain 2 keyboard and mouse for each laptop. I was thinking to only connect my personal Keyboard Mouse (ofcourse much better than the one offered by workplace) over a KVM to both the system. But I am worried about the input Lag it might introduce while gaming.

Any suggestion of good KVM would be helpful

Technically, yes, because the signal has to travel further, but it is going to be literally imperceptible unless you're a robot or it's a very shit KVM

Yes, every resistance will introduce latency, but i don't think it will not be noticable, it is still way better than using wireless mouse/kb.

KVM is just wire extension, there's no conversion in between, so i think the quality difference from one to the other is hardly quantifiable outside the build quality.
