Im building a second pc exclusively to play games online and was told about kvm switches so i could use the same monitor keyboard and mouse
what i would like to know is there any lag or delay from using a kvm switch? if theres no problem using a switch for online gamming can someone recommend a couple?

I use a kvm switch because I have my web/file server running at home, and I haven't had any issues at all. If I recall (it's been awhile since I've looked) I'm pretty sure I use one made by Belkin (sp?). Hope this helps.
