These small little handy-dandy devices seem to get more and more popular. Anyone here chipped in for a JetKVM yet? Looks and sounds pretty solid. Are there a lot of you that have aquired a nanoKVM?

How often are you people screwing things up so badly that your servers aren’t reachable over the network and require keyboard/monitor access? This is basically only ever once for me for the initial OS install, and even then that can be automated away if I had to do it more than once every couple years
I backed so I’ll see what happens.
No way it will cost $ 69.
See for example PiKVM prices.
NanoKVM is going for around $50
yeah, but it’ll be hard to make those Y Combinator vultures rich at that price
hmm they claim it’s open source but their repo:
This organization has no public repositories.I’d advise against preordering unless you understand and you’re ok with taking the leap of faith that is tied with preorders~
They state the code will be released after the first orders ship, which makes a certain kind of sense given this is a competitive space suddenly.
Though, I 10000% agree that there’s no reason to take a leap of faith when you can just wait like, uh, a month, and see what they do after release. It’s not like they won’t still be selling these or something.
Hm, good of you to point out. I hope and assume they will post the code for this as soon as they launch this.
Jeff Geerling and Craft Computing have recently reviewer these units on YouTube and they’re fairly optimistic about them.
Yes. I’m excited to try it out :)
First project created, only want $50k, delivery is basically as soon as the project ends.
I would be surprised if the backers of this project receive anything.
I’d be very surprised if this was some sort of sham. At least both Jeff Geerling and Raid Owl have posted about getting these; though like sent to them without them backing them directly.
I’m not saying it’s a scam necessarily, but the schedule and budget seem optimistic enough to make me question wether the folks running it have any prior experience with manufacturing.
While I have a personal general rule against backing electronics on Kickstarter and would likely wait for it to be available at retail, I wouldn’t necessarily immediately discount this one.
It’s probably worth noting - mentioned in Jeff Geerling’s video - they had a MOQ of 1500 on the metal case, which likely forced them to be significantly further through the process than a lot of Kickstarters are at launch.
