Verdict

Adder AdderLink IPEPS

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A focused, affordable way to get true remote BIOS-level access to one critical server without a full IP KVM matrix.

Level1Techs USB-C KVM Switch v3

6 / 10 Expert Rating

At 395 dollars this is the most expensive switch in its class and it drives one monitor, has no EDID emulation, no Ethernet and 60W of Power Delivery per port.
