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.

Raritan Dominion SX 2 Series

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A solid, purpose-built serial console server for network and infrastructure gear that doesn't need video KVM access at all.
