Which should you buy, Adder Technology Adder ALIF1002P or Lindy 2 Port KVM Switch Pro USB 2.0,?
Buy the Adder Technology Adder ALIF1002P for enterprise IP KVM matrix deployments centered on DVI video and facilities already using Adder's ADDERLink Infinity Manager, though it is not built for multi-monitor workstations needing dual-head DVI, where the ALIF2112T fits better and HDMI or DisplayPort-based workstations. It also earns its place with buyers wanting a complete matched transmitter/receiver pair rather than individual nodes. It is not the one for small single-room extension budgets, where the Emerald EMD2000PE-T costs roughly half as much. it is the wrong buy for multi-monitor MST setups (not supported) and USB 3.0 peripheral speeds. It is equally the pick for Two-PC desks that want audio/USB peripherals to stay put independent of video switching.

Our rating of the Lindy 2 Port KVM Switch Pro USB 2.0, (7/10): LINDY's Pro-series 2-port DisplayPort KVM with TTU (True 4K), part of their higher-end professional line.
