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-QKVM-S

4.5 / 10 Expert Rating

Discontinued and overpriced relative to SmartAVI's current DVN line; only relevant for legacy compatibility needs.
