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?
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.
You aren’t supposed to do serious work over these things. They should be a last resort imo.
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?
No way it will cost $ 69.
See for example PiKVM prices.
NanoKVM is going for around $50
It is based on completely different hardware. A Raspberry Pi CPU is much more expensive than the CPU that is used here.
