Adder Technology Adder AV4PRO-VGA-Triple vs JCYMELE SW273 4K144Hz DisplayPort KVM: the usb hub ports difference

On usb hub ports the spread is 50%, Adder Technology Adder AV4PRO-VGA-Triple 2 against JCYMELE SW273 4K144Hz DisplayPort KVM 4, so JCYMELE SW273 4K144Hz DisplayPort KVM takes it.

Who each one is for

Buy the Adder Technology Adder AV4PRO-VGA-Triple for legacy trading or control-room desks still running VGA triple-monitor spreads and facilities not ready to upgrade to digital DVI/DisplayPort monitors, though it is the wrong buy for modern digital monitor installations (the DVI variant looks sharper) and anyone needing a fourth monitor head (see the VGA-Quad variant). Take the JCYMELE SW273 4K144Hz DisplayPort KVM for gaming-first dual monitor setups specifically needing verified 4K@144Hz and G-Sync passthrough. It is not the one for buyers without high-refresh-rate monitors or G-Sync displays, a standard 4K@60Hz KVM covers typical office use for less. Our rating of the Adder Technology Adder AV4PRO-VGA-Triple (7/10): A cost-effective way to keep a legacy triple-VGA trading desk running without a full monitor refresh. Our rating of the JCYMELE SW273 4K144Hz DisplayPort KVM (9/10): the best gaming KVM, verified 4K@144Hz over DisplayPort 1.4 with G-Sync passthrough and a dedicated DC power adapter.

Where the two are identical

Everything else lines up. Audio support, kvm segment, button switching and external power required read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing.
