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.
Geekpi makes a compatible pcie or standalone that gets you everything (with buying a pi) for like $150 or $160
There are knock offs in the $100 range on amazon. Bring your own raspi4 though.
