These probably has more to do with your mouse than the KVM.

I've got three little four-port boxes (black ones) and an Autoview 200. I
must say, I do believe they are very well built boxes. And built in
Huntsville, my hometown[0]. Having played with a few others, I do believe
that they are the Cadillacs of the KVMs.
