5 meters is not a problem for VGA or PS2 Keyboard or Mouse connections, just buy decent cables. You will need an amplified USB cable to go that far but very reasonable with the right extension cable. Shop around as cable prices and quality varies wildly. As I recall, long DVI cables are pricy.
Good KVMs are expensive.
