Yeah, I was REALLY surprised with how well both the physical products and the software was made. This software really feels like it was put together by a quality DEV or DEV team.
@@Enoril31 I extremely doubt Wendell will sell his good faith or stance in the tech industry for.. whatever reason. I am still not exactly sure what story @TeamTDU is talking about.

My biggest fear is that they're potentially over promised at this point. They have just shy of $2 *million* in backing right now. That means they have at minimum of 29,000 units to ship. Considering their original goal was $50,000, that was only 750 units to ship. I'm curious to if they can ramp their mass production by a factor of a few magnitudes magnitudes. I'm in for a 3 pack 😊
In my opionion those "fifty grands" milestones are just a way to say potential customer "see? we need just this and it yours". Realistically you cannot crowdfund any real device manufacturing with this money. Not even 750 units. To deliver your promises you need to hold a massively successful campaign, order a dozen of devices and maybe even attract some investors after this. So I think they will do it, they got what they wanted from the beginning.
Maybe from the company, but you don't have to fear this from the manufacturing side. The manufacturing companies with the rapid part placement devices have spare machines just sitting and they are absolutely willing to move equipment around on their dime to their other facilities to spool up production.
@@johnsullivan8673 It may help to point out that china is currently having an economic collapse. The US and other western countries have been moving trade with china away to other countries over the last couple of years. Factories and corporations are going under because they have no paying customers. There is mass unemployment. Mass groups of people are homeless and barely surviving. It is going to be easy to get electronics manufactured in china due to an abundance of idle companies that are desperate for customers. If this product proves popular, they'll likely be moving manufacturing to another country due to the new wave of tariff increases by the incoming US president. The new president isn't going to slowly increase tariffs to ensure that inflation stays low like the current admin, he is going to ramp it up faster and let inflation do whatever it ends up doing. Shipping is also free from china, so the company is pocketing most of that shipping fee on kickstarter if they ship via the national chinese postal service which gets handed off to your national postal service when the package reaches your country.
That DLI I/O-controlled power strip is the mutt’s nuts. Our solar water heater system has a busted temperature sensor up on the panel on the roof, its controller is baffled by it, and the landlord is clueless and doesn’t want to pay for a fix. I stuck one of these connected to an old RPi to control the pump, stuck an ADC hat on it to read the thermistor in the water tank and added one for the temperature of a fitting on the return to the tank, and cobbled together a little script to run things.
PoE and larger internal storage seem like the no-brainers for a v2.0 release. Still, as it is now - seems to be a steal if we are just looking at capabilities when compared to competitors prices.
wait! Could I plug any camera with a HDMI out into this. View it remotely, and then use the remote power switch function to trigger any relay? Might be fun to play with outside KVM use! Now for KVM use, I would like to see a PCI slot mounting solution.
7:41 That Bloomberg article by Jordan Roberston and Michale Riley was just a supermicro hit piece. There never was such a thing and Apple/etc who were using the boards all investigated their hardware and confirmed nothing of the sort. It was nothing more than a hit piece that drove the stock down to $13.
After both you and Lawrence Systems have given this a pretty glowing review, I went ahead and backed the project. Here's hoping that I will actually get it...
Would've liked to see a bit about the software of this thing. I use my pikvm basically as a tool instead of a constant remote console, so most important for me is network flexibility. Can it do Wifi, create an accesspoint, both at the same time, route traffic between RJ45, Wifi, AP, Host? This is where the pikvm lacks. Sure, thats all achievable with the hardware and linux subsystem, but doing it in an intelligent and flexible manner is a whole different beast.
I backed his project about a month ago and I'm so excited. I really hope they ship. As of today it keeps on campaigns over and from all accounts and all reviews it looks like it's a product that will ship to the masses. I really can't wait, I looked at PI KVM, however I think it's too expensive. This actually hits a sweet spot in small, easy enough to move around to different servers in my home lab.
Glad to see you're also on to these dinky useful gizmos, I saw Jeff Geerling's video about this and he's also big into these and similar devices. Great time to be either an on-budget project hacksmith or even business user. I have definite applications for these devices where I work in enterprise in certain scenarios. ❤
A company focusing on getting the software good enough for everyone to plug and play up to including wifi accessing, would be wildly successful with their products. The whole reason this hasn't caught on and become wildly popular is because the delivery is always aimed at the commercial industry or not had the software and usability easy enough for consumers.
I would love a run down of AM5 motherboards with ECC for home labers that isn't serverboards but just consumer boards for cheaper price. I have been looking at the AM5 platforms for my next NAS, old one died a long time ago. So having a rundown of AM5 boards that doesn't cost to much would be lovely!
I don't usually care for so many projects and things people peddle, but I actually really like so much of this product. The extension using RJ11 is very smart. The info on the screen is smart. the price is smart. The software is smart. Opensource coded in Go on Linux is smart.
I've vowed to not use Kickstarter for products anymore. I now just give money to open source projects on Kickstarter and wait to see if they release a product later. I gave $5 to Jet KVM.
Another big use case, these sorts of KVMs allow you to fix or alter a family member's computer. I set up a BliKVM with tailscale that I included with a gaming computer I set up for a family member which *also* has tailscale set up on both the windows and linux installs I included. Basically if anything needs done or goes wrong software wise, they can just plug this in and there's enough cross redundancy that I can deal with issues on the computer or KVM. Not trivial to set up and understand the first time, but heaven compared to "phone support".
This has a lot of potential for the work from home prosumer market which is far larger after covid. It would allow a lot of people to untether from their desk while having less anxiety about things going haywire while away from home.
The only thing that still gives me anxiety is internet related. My modem or router locking up could cut me off, and although rare, happens enough to still give me anxiety, and I am not sure of a great solution to that issue.
My homelab consists of a (relatively large) Synology NAS and a bunch of RPis. I don't leave any of my PCs (Desktop, media center, laptop) running 24/7. I was already on the Kickstarter page when I realized I have absolutely no use for this.
@nitrobear My comment was made before I got to that part of the video. Maybe they should split the difference and do full size HDMI and not include a cable.
Have not watched this yet, but I really wish that it had come out more than a few hours before backing ends. If its a good review I want the kick starter to get a good endorsement in time to get more backing and if its a negative review I'd like to have known sooner to know if I should back out
I bet we'll see a homemade setup like that soon. The NanoKVM has a serial port output as well, and users are wiring it up to infrared transmitters. Then... many traditional multi-system KVM switches have the option of infrared switching (instead of pressing a button on them to move to another PC). You wouldn't have multi-system power/reset control (because that needs wiring to each motherboard) but it would let you have one-cheap-KVM-head-unit... and one-cheap-KVM-switch... without the enterprise pricing.
For ip based power you can get inexpensive tp link ip based sockets, while they require one time setup via cloud, you can wall them off the internet after and still access over ip no problem. Also I'd say it'd be nicer if jet kvms had a separate usb-c for power like the pikvms
Already backed a little while back. Hoping to get a few. Sometimes have issues with Kickstarter due to where I live which blows. Hopefully blow-free this time.
both ways compatibility would be a gamechanger. having the ability to do hdmi out & usb in would allow 2 of these to not even require a computer on client side. i would have one of these to a dedicated monitor just for remote work..
On principle, I don't back Kickstarter or other crowdfunded projects. The more promising the project is, the less I trust actual delivery. Even projects which seem like delivery is likely, even if they're from a company or entity with a strong history of delivering, I still refuse to back it. Believe me, I'm really excited to see this turn into reality, and I'd love to have supported the project during its campaign. Crowdfunding is definitely a good way to go with it, it's just that crowdfunding itself is tainted because of its history.
I would buy a TON of these if it was for sale. I'm not touching a Kickstarter. I bought 2 NanoKVMs already because they're available to order. I'll probably buy more of those at some point.
I love how GPU manufacturers keep saddling us with one HDMI port and multiple DP ports. Meanwhile, KVM manufacturers only support HDMI with no passthrough. Also, a simple Switchbot to remotely power on a MiniPC (configure as inverted on/off to turn on and configure off to be switch for for 3 seconds... press mode not advised because it rotates way too far) is way easier than the relay.
Sometimes I just want to mess with the bios of my headless pc. Chrome Remote Desktop works 98% of the time when I’m in windows, but would this be good for those moments I need to access the bios? Or are there even better options?
It doesn't, but you can use its own built-in internet service with an OAuth account (currently they only support Google accounts, but that will likely change in time) to access your KVM over the internet with E2EE. Also, if you don't want that, you can run a subnet router (not an exit point) on Tailscale to allow other IPs on the same network to be connected to Tailscale without any extra software.
As a self-hoster at home, I'm enticed to try one as I could use one to manage my NAS while away or remotely from the comfort of my room as my NAS is located two floors away... But its running on TrueNAS Scale so it really limits what I can do with the HDMI feature however I still appreciate the feature nonetheless!
@@fujinshu That's one of my ideal use but I also want to access my OpenWRT router config through my TrueNAS server but TrueNAS lacks an desktop environment. I perfer using the Web GUI but I guess I could SSH into it instead.
@@_-Karl-_ I don't know. It had 850Mb HDD, 8Mb RAM running windows 95, I got it around 1996. It cost me £2'500.00 I nearly fell over. It was the first Tower configuration the guy ever built & gave me a frustrated stare when I declined a desktop. It was a big deal for some reason i'll never understand. Btw, now you told me how to do that PDP-11 thing, its added to the list:)
We never cared about HPE ILO Enterprise licenses, we just used existing licenses so the extra license keys where never used, im pretty sure a lot of these end up on ebay or the "internet" so not a major concern for a homelab. Im quite happy with IPMI from super micro and their HTML5 GUI with remote media - Yea super micro motherboards are expensive but even in a homelab scenario it helps a lot. Having an external KVM is not an option at all, its to much work and to much things that can go wrong if I need external USB adapters, VGA to HDMI. also with power. I already have Raritan PDUs so I can do remote shutdown/toggle on one of my 16 outlets and I have power monitoring for all. I think these can be really useful in remote offices however, or in retail where you need another way to access a small office server doing inventory or whatever and it does not have something like intel vPro
My Windows based Plex server became unresponsive on the first day of a week long trip to another state. RDP failed to connect (stuck on "configuring remote session") and it would respond t powershell restart commands from another computer on the network. I backed the JetKVM that night, although I am contemplating switching to Unraid (I was thinking TrueNAS at first, but my disks are all different sizes, so I'm thinking Unraid is my best option)
Well I backed it and it seems as they are shipping it already - granted shipping from Germany to Austria is basically almost domestically shipping - if they are shipping it from Germany.
0:36 "tricked... into hawking things" meaning they paid you? Sorry, I love your work Wendell, but my GF said this looked like an AD and now I'm concerned it wasn't clearly disclosed. I trust you to always be ethical, as I know you so deeply are.
There's nothing to suggest that he was the one who was tricked. I’m not a fan of Kickstarter either, but your interpretation seems uncharitable. Also, the FCC requires a notice for paid sponsorships, and he’s consistently included such notices in previous videos without issue.
@@Rotalus Thank you. I agree Wendell is extremely ethical. I'm a huge fan, he's made my life much better. I think it's 80% likely that he just got free hardware and 20% likely that he was additionally paid. I just want to make sure it's all transparent, because of the FCC rules.
I got burned so many times with these funding projects. When I can buy it with a real warranty then I’ll consider it. Software engineers are not business people.
iDRAC and iLO are just brand names for IPMI. ALSO JUST SAY ETHERNET PORT. It is way less confusing than than mis-naming the connection and then calling it an ethernet port. It is ethernet over tia 568.
Yeah, I was REALLY surprised with how well both the physical products and the software was made. This software really feels like it was put together by a quality DEV or DEV team.

Hey, it’s apt!
I'm disappointed that PoE is not one of the available power methods.
PoE and larger internal storage seem like the no-brainers for a v2.0 release. Still, as it is now - seems to be a steal if we are just looking at capabilities when compared to competitors prices.
NanoKVM has you covered, and it's also cheap. But the JetKVM packaging is definitely sexier!
I, too, have no concept of how much PoE components cost.
You could make it POE right now with a $10 POE extractor, you can get them with USB-C out directly making it very easy to do.
wait! Could I plug any camera with a HDMI out into this. View it remotely, and then use the remote power switch function to trigger any relay? Might be fun to play with outside KVM use!

They could save themselves a couple cents and leave out the HDMI cable.
And micro HDMI is idiotic, just make it bigger.

Does Tailscale run natively on it or do you need to some fudging to make it work?
It doesn't, but you can use its own built-in internet service with an OAuth account (currently they only support Google accounts, but that will likely change in time) to access your KVM over the internet with E2EE.
Also, if you don't want that, you can run a subnet router (not an exit point) on Tailscale to allow other IPs on the same network to be connected to Tailscale without any extra software.

Having an external KVM is not an option at all, its to much work and to much things that can go wrong if I need external USB adapters, VGA to HDMI. also with power.
I already have Raritan PDUs so I can do remote shutdown/toggle on one of my 16 outlets and I have power monitoring for all.
I think these can be really useful in remote offices however, or in retail where you need another way to access a small office server doing inventory or whatever and it does not have something like intel vPro
My Windows based Plex server became unresponsive on the first day of a week long trip to another state. RDP failed to connect (stuck on "configuring remote session") and it would respond t powershell restart commands from another computer on the network. I backed the JetKVM that night, although I am contemplating switching to Unraid (I was thinking TrueNAS at first, but my disks are all different sizes, so I'm thinking Unraid is my best option)
That Oxempic pack
too concerned that these are specifically meant for reviewers and the actual release won't be anywhere as good..
Well I backed it and it seems as they are shipping it already - granted shipping from Germany to Austria is basically almost domestically shipping - if they are shipping it from Germany.
Link to that AM5 build please
looking good w
Can it run tailscale onboard?
Is this still HTTP (port:80) only not HTTPS (port:443)?
this would be perfect if it could be powered by POE...I guess you could get a POE to 5v USB adapter?
Needs/needed PoE, but otherwise pretty cool.
Ill just build my own.
8:41 🤣🤣
0:36 "tricked... into hawking things" meaning they paid you? Sorry, I love your work Wendell, but my GF said this looked like an AD and now I'm concerned it wasn't clearly disclosed. I trust you to always be ethical, as I know you so deeply are.
There's nothing to suggest that he was the one who was tricked. I’m not a fan of Kickstarter either, but your interpretation seems uncharitable. Also, the FCC requires a notice for paid sponsorships, and he’s consistently included such notices in previous videos without issue.
@@Rotalus Thank you. I agree Wendell is extremely ethical. I'm a huge fan, he's made my life much better.
I think it's 80% likely that he just got free hardware and 20% likely that he was additionally paid. I just want to make sure it's all transparent, because of the FCC rules.
Why not PoE to power it?
Commodore forever!
Maybe they will be sold to the devil, Broadcom.
I just paid for 2x hope. Can always depend on Wendel to waste my money for me.
well, at home I do not needed and at work we have more sofisticated RMC... so not for me in the end, but interesting anyway
I got burned so many times with these funding projects. When I can buy it with a real warranty then I’ll consider it. Software engineers are not business people.
You're looking younger Randal. Can't tell why. Are you wearing an eyeliner?
Accidental mid-video outro 🤣
iDRAC and iLO are just brand names for IPMI.
ALSO JUST SAY ETHERNET PORT. It is way less confusing than than mis-naming the connection and then calling it an ethernet port. It is ethernet over tia 568.
I thought jetkvm doesn’t have tailscale
