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.

Level1Techs USB-C KVM Switch v3

6 / 10 Expert Rating

At 395 dollars this is the most expensive switch in its class and it drives one monitor, has no EDID emulation, no Ethernet and 60W of Power Delivery per port.
