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.

IOGEAR GUB431 4-Port USB 2.0 Automatic Printer Switch

7.5 / 10 Expert Rating

A cheap, effective single-purpose USB printer-sharing switch; not a KVM and shouldn't be evaluated as one.
