Who each one is for
The Adder Technology Adder AdderView PRO is the one to take for 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. It also earns its place with control room and NOC operators managing 4-8 machines across multiple monitors. It is the wrong buy for budget shoppers, since modular head configurations cost more than a fixed 4-port switch. Take the JCYMELE SW273 4K144Hz DisplayPort KVM for gaming-first dual monitor setups specifically needing verified 4K@144Hz and G-Sync passthrough. Avoid it for buyers without high-refresh-rate monitors or G-Sync displays, a standard 4K@60Hz KVM covers typical office use 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. Our rating of the JCYMELE SW273 4K144Hz DisplayPort KVM (9/10): the best gaming KVM, verified 4K@144Hz over DisplayPort 1.4 with G-Sync passthrough and a dedicated DC power adapter.
