Before you get your hopes up, this is a kickstarter with a desired launch price of ~$70. If it can deliver it would be awesome. I use a PiKVM for some homelab stuff but they are pricy to have several, this would make it more affordable for me to have one per system in the home-lab.

This article is testing out a demo/prototype unit. So, they do at least have a POC/Demo unit that works already so keep that in mind.

From the post:

>Despite what it looks like, this isn't a hot-rod Apple Watch. This is an IP KVM. What does that mean? It's basically a remote control rocket pack for any computer, from a giant tower PC, to a little mini PC you might run in your homelab. It's called JetKVM, and the team behind it sent me two to test out.

why they'd need one, instead of just using Remote Desktop Connection or VNC. Raspberry Pi even launched Pi Connect this year!

Well, this goes a level deeper. Instead of requiring software running on your computer, it's completely independent. That means it can work even when your computer's shut down or locked up. It can also send out magic 'Wake on LAN' packets to wake up other computers, even if your main computer's off.

That's useful. But does this really not exist yet? I'm sure I've seen these on Amazon.

It does but the price point is far higher than this for something like this on average.
