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 Single Pathway 16-Port CAT5 IP KVM Switch — KH1516Ai

7.4 / 10 Expert Rating

A cost-effective 16-port single-pathway IP KVM for single-administrator server rooms, though it lacks concurrent local/remote access.
