Will a KVM switch add input lag to my keyboard and mouse?

Reviewer consensus

USB 3.0-based KVMs are designed to pass peripherals through with minimal delay, and most buyers report no noticeable lag for everyday work. A minority of reviewers across these listings mention occasional USB re-enumeration delays or peripherals dropping briefly on switch, which tends to come down to firmware and how the device handles hotkey versus button switching.
