Buy a better moniter/mounse/keyboard switch. PS/2 mice have state
information on both sides of the cable; unless you have a high-grade
switch (that deals with these issues), the mouse will get out of sync.

Keyboards don't have that problem - using two mice works. Personally,
I just use a moniter switch, as that's what eats the space on the
desktop.
