Mouse decelleration when connecting via KVM Switch

I've began connecting my mouse via a KVM switch (Tesmart Dual Monitor KVM), and noticed a significant mouse deceleration.
I've disabled mouse accel via xinput, (as listed here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Mouse_ … eleration)  which works when the mouse is connected directly, but not when it's connected via the KVM.
xinput --set-prop was re-ran when connecting/reconnecting the mouse. The mouse I'm working with is the SteelSeries Rival 3 Wireless Gen 2.

xinput:

⎡ Virtual core pointer                          id=2    [master pointer  (3)]

xinput list-props 15 | grep ccel

I've noticed that ID 8 also has a property for mouse accel, but disabling that via xinput still has the mouse decelleration issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
