gscartsw
This is an 8-port dual-output SCART switch made specifically for retro-gaming, that’s sold by superg (not me). I strongly recommend it for anyone who has multiple consoles. Pre-orders are currently open:

The gscartsw will automatically detect which console is powered on and switch to it. It’s best to not power on more then one console at a time, but doing so will not damage the switch. Also, you can chain two gscartsw’s together for 15 total inputs:
Summary:
If you plan on playing your retro game consoles in RGB and want multiple hooked up at the same time, it’s my opinion that this switch is the best choice. If you’re on a budget, you can find cheaper options that will work fine minus some features and there are more expensive options for hardcore enthusiasts, but the gscartsw offers tons of options and zero picture quality loss for a fair price.
