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 GUS402

6 / 10 Expert Rating

A cheap, effective USB peripheral sharer, but not a substitute for an actual KVM switch.
