Which should you buy, Adder Technology Adder AdderView PRO or UGREEN 8K@60Hz HDMI+DisplayPort KVM Switch?

Buy the Adder Technology Adder AdderView PRO for broadcast and security operations needing rack-mounted, RS232-controllable switching, though it is not built for single-desk users who only need to switch between two computers and buyers needing HDMI or DisplayPort instead of DVI/VGA. It also earns its place with control room and NOC operators managing 4-8 machines across multiple monitors. Avoid it for budget shoppers, since modular head configurations cost more than a fixed 4-port switch. it is not the pick for you want keyboard hotkey switching, or serial control for automation. The same goes for you need three monitors switched between two computers and 100 dollars is the budget. It is not the one for you run a complex multi-window layout and switch often. No EDID emulation will drive you mad. Our rating of the Adder Technology Adder AdderView PRO (8/10): A serious modular KVM built for control rooms that need to scale past 4 computers, overkill for a simple desk setup.

    6 / 10 Expert Rating

    The only triple-monitor KVM at 100 dollars, and it earns that by leaving out the two things that make a KVM pleasant to live with.
