KVMs are unreasonably expensive and my work was about to throw this one in the dumpster. I just need to order some console cables first but I’m really pleased.

Every time I look at this, the value proposition makes no sense to me. The DIY V1 and V2 only have instructions for adding a single HDMI input port (??), and the V3 and V4 are like $350 CAD, which is way more expensive than buying a used KVM on eBay. What am I missing?
Maybe some enjoy the open-stack in terms of network security… I’d personally use this in front of a port multiplier, so you can have 8x machines going to a switch, the front of the switch toggled by one of the Pi’s GPIO pins.
Part of it is that the prices for the Pi’s themselves have dramatically increased lately.
There are knock offs in the $100 range on amazon. Bring your own raspi4 though.
Geekpi makes a compatible pcie or standalone that gets you everything (with buying a pi) for like $150 or $160
