I had weird problems with one of those - in the end I changed to a USB 
KVM, and all works well.

The problems in my case, with a converter that took keyboard and mouse 
PS2s, and supplied one USB, was that sometimes moving the mouse would 
cause random keypresses to be seen, usually top-bit-set characters. It 
did this even without a keyboard connected.
