Got a USB switch for KB only and things seem to be a bit smoother now.

Doing a ps-2 switch entails "holding" the signal...for if the mouse or 
KB are unplugged, they may not be inserted. It seems my KVM's were not 
holding properly. With the USB switch, it seems it's simply unpluging 
and re-plugging.
