Try my new input drivers, at http://www.suse.cz/development/input, those will automatically restore the repeat rate (and leds) when you plug (switch) the keyboard back in.
Or, alternately, open the switch box, and solder the power anf ground line to just one of the inputs, this way the keyboard won't reset its settings when you switch between the servers.
