I've found that the 'manual' type KVM switches are made incredibly
poorly, resulting in bad ghosting on "high bandwidth" video (high
resolution/high refresh rate).  
I've owned three, err no, five belkin PS2/PC15 KVMs within the past
year.  As it turns out, there are KVM's on the front page of
belkin.com.  I had one of their 2-port models, that handled a 1600x1200
signal at 72Hz without any noticeable ghosting.  They've got a 2-port
lsted at $130, but that's got too many bells and whistles (audio?!?). 
Here's the URL I got from messing around for a 2-port model at $80. 
Hmm, if I can find this for $50, I might just get one myself.  :-)
