One exception I've seen to the blurry thing - the old Belkin Omnicube 
KVM. We have a couple of those at work, and the DSMGG has one. They 
don't seen to induce any blurriness. I'd recommend them.. but they're 
ps/2 only (no usb) and they probably don't make them any more.

Strangely, the more expensive Belkin KVM's I've seen are really blurry, 
but the cheaper Omnicube models aren't.
