#12Why not combine the ATX board and the unit itself, and have a real HDMI port? This seems like a mess of cables and dongles.

#13PiKVM seems to be the large competitor here and is completely open source. If you're looking into KVM solutions, probably check it out, but JetKVM is over 50% less, which is a huge argument in favor of it. https://pikvm.org
What justifies the V4 Plus being worth $350? They're using the CM4 so they’ve made a PCB, but what hardware are they adding over the peripherals available on a Pi 4/5? All I can tell is an additional Ethernet port, a SIM card tray, and an “ATX controller”.
What does the board look like, why can’t I DIY that version, etc. Are they just trying to make it up with the software (that I also can’t tell what it looks like).

JetKVM is over 50% less what?
over 50% less the price, I see the JetKVM at $90 USD, but PiKVMs range from $230+.
I found PiKVM useful as I already had the hardware laying around, so setting one up didn't cost me anything, and its a pretty good experience. If I were to buy new though, not sure I'd find it worth the cost for my use case.

I can buy 3 or 4 x JetKVMs for 1 PiKVM, pretty hard to justify going for PiKVM unless there is a PiKVM feature you need

#17I've been looking for something like this, but with a built in LTE modem. Also, where do you buy (IoT?) Sim cards cheaply, valid over entire continents or worldwide?
get a esim adapter (ie. euicc in sim card format), find a plan on https://esimdb.com/, load it onto the esim, and plug it into your iot device.

#18I've been satisfied with NanoKVM lite. Cheap and does what i want.

#19I've been really happy with my JetKVM. The tariff situation is unfortunate, my recollection is that it was something like $50 during the kickstarter (could be wrong, didn't check). Looking around a bit, I'm not sure I see anything remotely as hackable at a competitive price, so maybe $90 is still a great deal.
It would be awesome if they made a PoE version.

#20I've been using it since I got it. It's been working great with one small issue that I haven't been able to solve. For some reason when I use plasma on Arch linux (but not ubuntu), the display outputs garbage. I'm guessing it's not detecting the EDID correctly and setting a weird resolution or refresh rate. It's not a major issue since other desktop work well so I haven't spent much time looking into it.
