Which should you buy, Adder Technology Adder ADDERView PRO or JCYMELE SW273 4K144Hz DisplayPort KVM?

The Adder Technology Adder ADDERView PRO suits budget-conscious desks needing basic isolated switching between 4 DVI machines and legacy DVI workstations that haven't moved to DisplayPort/HDMI, though it is the wrong buy for users needing simultaneous multi-screen viewing (see the CCS-MV4224) and modern DisplayPort/HDMI-only hardware. It is the wrong buy for desks requiring formal NIAP/Common Criteria certification (see the Cybex SC800 line). Take the JCYMELE SW273 4K144Hz DisplayPort KVM for gaming-first dual monitor setups specifically needing verified 4K@144Hz and G-Sync passthrough. It is not the one for buyers without high-refresh-rate monitors or G-Sync displays, a standard 4K@60Hz KVM covers typical office use for less. Our rating of the Adder Technology Adder ADDERView PRO (7/10): an affordable way to add isolated switching to a 4-port DVI desk without paying for certification or multiviewer features.
