There is not really added lag from the KVM. If you would use the search function there are lots of KVM threads, but I'll post a quick summary here of what to be aware of. Not all KVMs work well with all OS's and mice, typically MS mice get the best support, and typically Windows gets the best support. Most companies utilize only a single emulation chip, which is fine but can have drawbacks. On some KVM's you need to have selected the machine that you are about to boot up otherwise the kvm can't recognize that its there (I've noted this on Belkin kvms). Another thing to be aware of is to make sure that you run the same resolution/frequency across all of the boxes hooked up to the KVM if you want speedier switching. And finally, the only real lag that kvm's has is when you are switching between systems. Cheaper kvm's typically have longer waits (my Raritan is instantaneous). Do some google searching for whatever you are looking at and research a little bit and you probably won't be disappointed.
