Did you get a real KVM or just some rotary switch box?
If a switchbox, then yes, you will have problems since they do not
maintain the CLK/DATA lines to the computer they are connected to, so when
you do switch back to them, they will more than likelty be out of sync.
This is what a proper KVM is for. It maintains those signals to the
computers so you do not lose sync.
