These small little handy-dandy devices seem to get more and more popular. Anyone here chipped in for a JetKVM yet? Looks and sounds pretty solid. Are there a lot of you that have aquired a nanoKVM?

    First project created, only want $50k, delivery is basically as soon as the project ends.

    I would be surprised if the backers of this project receive anything.

      They state the code will be released after the first orders ship, which makes a certain kind of sense given this is a competitive space suddenly.

      Though, I 10000% agree that there’s no reason to take a leap of faith when you can just wait like, uh, a month, and see what they do after release. It’s not like they won’t still be selling these or something.

    We really need to get past the 1080p barrier. AFAICS there is one economical KVM solution for that, and several costly enterprise kits. Surely the actual hardware cost/difference per-unit would be quite small now?

      Why? Even 1080p is more than what is usually needed for such a KVM solution. It is not like this is meant for doing remote work on a computer or anything like that.

        Because sometimes I would rather things be slow than blurry, and my workstation monitor is >1080p.

    OK, I’ve read the wiki entry but I still don’t understand what KVM is, or why it’s needed. The last time I visited a data center - every server rack came with a laptop-esque looking control unit. What problem does KVM comes to solve? What does this invention improve upon a traditional KVM?
