I've never used a KVM before so I'm looking for a little guidance on what I should buy for my setup and what issues I should be aware of. I would like to get a KVM that can handle a high power draw keyboard that uses 2 USB plugs along with a USB mouse that will not introduce any additional input lag. If the KVM could also switch between video inputs and handle a DP 1.2 connection at 165Hz w/G-sync from one PC and a standard HDMI input from a second PC that would be great, but I'm also ok with just switching the video input on the monitor itself.

 

I'm not sure if it will matter but one system will be running win10 64-bit and the other will run winXP 32-bit.

Have you looked at Wendell's KVM? Level1techs?

I had not heard of them before, but the KVM they offers looks like a quality option, unfortunately it also looks like they're all sold out.

Any other suggestions for a good KVM just for switching a few USB devices (2 USB Keyboard, 1 USB Mouse, 1 USB Controller) that won't introduce any noticeable input lag?
