KVM Switch

S! All.
Ok i got my KVM switch in today. Works like a charm. There is a split second delay switching back and forth but not bad. By the time i look at second computer its already made the switch. I have the 2 monitors hooked straight into computer. reason for this is that the KVM, even though they say it will do HD or 4k it does not do true 4k. If your going to do this in future, make sure to get your keyboard and mouse drivers on both computers and set them up before you make the switch. Side not. I wish they had one that had more USB hook ups. Reason being, the sound jacks (RCA) will not be recognized by your computers as being plugged in. I have the g430 headset with surround sound. If i use the USB hookup it will recognize them as being connected to computers. Problem is only 2 ports on KVM. Not I am going to try a USB 4 port hub and hook it into KVM USB and see if i can get controller mouse keyboard and speakers all hooked and working without any issues for game.
Hopefully this will work because i would like to use just one controller on desk. Plus i am getting they Trackir as well and will have 1 usb hookup left for that.
