    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.

    Rose Electronics Rose MPM-2U2V

    7.6 / 10 Expert Rating

    A solid dual-head matrix KVM for two local systems; the MEM-2U2V is the better pick if extension distance is needed.
