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.

Avocent SVKM120

6 / 10 Expert Rating

A dependable but bare-bones 2-port VGA switch, worth it mainly for buyers already standardized on Avocent hardware.
