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 SKMN-8S 8-Port Secure KM Switch with KB/Mouse USB Emulation

7.7 / 10 Expert Rating

A cost-effective way to put eight classified systems behind one keyboard and mouse when video switching is handled by a separate secure matrix.
