Who each one is for
The Adder Technology Adder AdderView PRO suits broadcast and security operations needing rack-mounted, RS232-controllable switching, though it is the wrong buy for single-desk users who only need to switch between two computers and buyers needing HDMI or DisplayPort instead of DVI/VGA. The same goes for control room and NOC operators managing 4-8 machines across multiple monitors. Avoid it for budget shoppers, since modular head configurations cost more than a fixed 4-port switch. Take the AV Access iDock C10 USB-C KVM Docking for two-computer, two-monitor setups specifically involving USB-C laptops wanting docking station features alongside KVM switching. It is not the one for budget buyers who don't need USB-C docking, Ethernet, or SD card features, a simpler HDMI-only KVM covers basic switching for less. Our rating of the Adder Technology Adder AdderView PRO (8/10): A serious modular KVM built for control rooms that need to scale past 4 computers, overkill for a simple desk setup.
