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.

>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.

Yeah, though it would work well for remote support for SOHO too if you are a MSP. Most of the hardware that is used as a "server" in a small office won't come with OOB management either and they are not big enough to use cloud. Sure beats having to go to a client office to run updates after hours if you can just remote in. It can be wired up to toggle the power switch so if you have to force restart it you can remotely power it on too. It is a niche but still one that I have had to deal with far more than I would have liked to in the past.

Now if this was a secure terminal server, I'd be all over it. I'd love to have one single secured entry point for all the SSH capable devices I have under my wings.
