Ideal KVM for 4K UHD monitors and Logitech MX keyboard and mouse

I have TESMart 2-Port 4K UHD Keyboard and Mouse Pass Through (model HKS0201A2U) for connecting two windows Bought 10 computers for the new Viewsonic 2768-4K UHD monitor. TESmart KVM works fine with both Windows 10 computers. I connected KVM HKS0201A2U to Logitech MX Keys keyboard and Logitech Master MX 3 mouse and both mouse and keyboard were recognized by KVM HKS0201A2U. The only issue I had when using a Logitech keyboard and mouse was that the Logitech "Options" software that configures the mouse and keyboard does not launch when the HKS0201A2U-KVM Mouse/Keyboard USB cable is connected to the computer. This means, that the Logitech mouse and keyboard cannot be configured with custom settings. The good news (for me at least) is that the default mouse and keyboard settings carry over smoothly through TESmart KVM. One area where KVM didn't work was the older Aten PS/2 KVM. I tried connecting an Aten PS/2 KVM video, mouse and keyboard to the TESmart KVM input. The video worked (sort of - it kept updating) but the Logitech mouse and keyboard connected to the TESmart KVM were not recognized by the Aten PS/2 KVM. This is because the Aten PS/2 KVM Switch ONLY sees PS/2 devices. I've used both active and passive USB to PS/2 adapters to troubleshoot this issue, but nothing has worked. Neither a Logitech mouse,
