  • KVM switcher switching speed is slow

    KVM switcher switching speed is slow

    High-end KVM switches add negligible input lag (often <1ms) that is imperceptible in competitive play. Budget or older KVMs can introduce delays exceeding 2-3ms, hurting your reaction times. While it's true that any. I have a 2 port Startech KVM switch ( SV211HDUA4K) when we attempt to switch between computer 1 to computer 2 and vise versa it takes about 8-10 seconds to load the other computer. Now I know this isn't a huge deal, but I have been asked to look and see if there is any way I can speed this up. This is super useful for people who have more than one computer but don't want the hassle of switching between different keyboards and mice. The only possible latency can come from the specialized keyboard port on. I'm planning to buy the ASUS ROG Swift PG32UCDM, also for its built-in KVM, and I want to use it with my Wooting 60HE and DeathAdder V3 Pro. A GREATHTEK KVM solved the problem. They all seem to have a delay of some sort but some are better than others.
