I just got a PiKVM4 Mini which is like this device but already 100% open source (GPLv3) and not a Kickstarter (available in PiShop, etc.) I had a great experience unboxing it and setting it up. Was able to remotely KVM over to to my target device in just a few minutes of setup. It does cost about $275 USD though.<p>Works well with Tailscale, too.<p><a href="https://docs.pikvm.org/tailscale/" rel="nofollow">https://docs.pikvm.org/tailscale/</a><p>My use case is to be able to provide a password upon boot to an Apple pre-boot environment with no network access which does the unlock of my fully encrypted disk (via FileVault). Once the full OS boots up I can use other remote access software like ssh. I also recommend coupling the device with a remote smart plug (e.g. Kasa/TP-Link) so you can turn the KVM on remotely only when you need it, or at least turn it off when you're physically at the computer in question (if ever). This way you don't always have an HDMI virtual monitor connected. Another tip is to put your main display/monitor on a smart plug so you can turn it off when remoting, to make sure the OS uses the KVM's HDMI port as the primary/sole monitor.
