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.

SmartAVI HKM-PROS

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A niche but well-executed switch for control rooms mixing traditional PCs with an Android source.
