JetKVM Review: Open Source KVM Over IP

What I Found

My first hands-on JetKVM review after unboxing, setup, updating, testing video input, and comparing the hardware.

Remote desktop is great until the machine you need to fix will not boot, is stuck in BIOS, or cannot run the remote access software you normally depend on.

My first impression of JetKVM is very positive. The hardware is smaller and more solid than I expected, the built-in display is genuinely useful, setup was straightforward once the USB-C splitter was plugged into the correct labeled side, and the web interface felt polished for an early Kickstarter-backed device.
