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 SM-MST-2Q

5.9 / 10 Expert Rating

Discontinued with no direct supported replacement in this catalog for its specific 2-port quad-head niche; buy only at clearance pricing.
