Verdict

Adder Technology Adder AdderView PRO AV4PRO

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A serious modular KVM built for control rooms that need to scale past 4 computers, overkill for a simple desk setup.

ATEN CS1953

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A smart, discounted hybrid switch for the increasingly common mix of USB-C laptops and DisplayPort desktops.
