I control Kill Switch Mycosynth Lattice and Unwinding Clock. I use Kill Switch ability, tapping everything. On my opponents upkeep, I get to untap, do they??

XD Sorry, I suppose I should've been more specific. I meant, Do my opponents also get to untap on their untap step?

No. Because Mycosynth Lattice turns everything into an artifact, and Kill Switch prevents them all from untapping during their controllers untap steps, nothing will ever untap unless a player has an Unwinding Clock, or another permanent with a similar ability.
Anything could still be untapped by something else though, such as Ral Zarek's +1, or, if they somehow have mana, Twiddle.

Okay, so even though my Kill Switch is becoming untapped they still won't get to untap their creatures?? Would Kill Switch have to be untapped prior to their untap step??

Oh, I see now.
Their artifacts don't untap as long as Kill Switch remains tapped. At the beginning of their untap step, your Kill Switch is tapped, so nothing of theirs will untap, then because of your Unwinding Clock, you are allowed to untap your stuff, and just have a hay day.

That it's the best thing I've heard (seen?) all day. Thanks much

My apologies for not seeing what you meant sooner. The wording was slightly confusing.
Yes, your Kill Switch would have to be untapped before their untap step in order for them to untap their permanents.

No apologies needed. I could've worded it better.

Yes, your artifacts untap.
Kill Switch specifies that artifacts cannot untap during their controllers untap step, but with Unwinding Clock, yours are untapping on someone else's untap step,
