Good value for the money.
Really impressed for the money! Works as a great IP KVM with my home server tucked in a closet. Few quirks... You will need a 8-32GB micro SD card, follow the link in the item description above for setup and the SD image download, I didn't have HDMI video until I performed the software Update feature after logging into the console. Pretty cool little IP KVM, not sure I'd use it for business but great little home IP KVM that is normally cost prohibitive.

Good KVM for good price
Easy to install, easy to use, really small (fit inside my mini pc case) and seems reasonably built. Performance is kind of ok for the price (video is with a small lag, web and ssh seem otherwise responsive). Needed to restart my computer/server to get video output.

How have I been living without this?
So far, this is very impressive but a little lacking. First, it's odd it does not come with an HDMI cable. I bought a short, thin one here from Amazon for $6. It does include the ATX daughter-board to control powering on or off a tower computer, but it's usually sold separately with other IP-KVMs.This device is used to control a computer (mini PC, tower, laptop, desktop, etc...) remotely over the network via the web browser of another computer! No software is needed to install and get it working. However, this does replace the monitor of the remote PC. There is no video pass-through. But you can see the monitor in your browser from another computer instead. This means you can access any operating system and can enter the BIOS (even update the BIOS) remotely with no software required! If you want to access from anywhere in the world, it uses the free TailScale app for encryption and security. The app is free from GitHub.The software on this IP-KVM is open source, so no worries about viruses or other nonsense.There is no further cost, meaning no subscriptions or upsells. This device just works. It's small, light weight, can use power from a single USB port (which also conveys the keyboard and mouse to the target computer) and it is hardwired network access only (no wifi) and it does not carry audio, just K(eyboard) V(ideo) and M(ouse).It's hard to believe these are so tiny, inexpensive and easy to setup and use. One of these controls one computer. If you have several computers you want to control remotely at the same time, then you would buy a NanoKVM for each computer.The computer you are connecting FROM does not need anything other than a web-browser. Again, no software to install and only the target computer needs the NanoKVM.This is handy for me to set up computer downstairs with new Windows installs, updates, BIOS settings, all from my bedroom upstairs. The computers I work on are put on my workbench downstairs. I used to have to go up and down the stairs constantly to check on the state of the update/install. Now I just lay in bed with my wireless laptop near me and I can monitor the progress while checking email or watching videos by simply leaving a browser tab open.Where has this been all my life??

Arrived and works. Has some quirks though.
Arrived and works as advertised. I actually like it. Advice remove the reserve pin sticking out on the f-panel board to hook up to the motherboard. The jumpers that came with it were janky and did not work but breaking off that single pin allows it to just plug in and work. Has some software quirks currently. Their forums were helpful though on github. Also recommend disabling the tail service. Not much point. Last bit of advice use chrome. I prefer firefox but chrome had a 10x decrease in bandwidth usage with it. Not sure why yet. Despite all that I really like it!

Dubious Software Security
Mostly here to complain about the handling of the upstream software and the lack of transparency coming from the manufacturer. There are some hard-coded very strange things under the hood here, and while I like the idea of this product I ultimately never plugged it in due to security concerns. check out the aplard's adventures video on these for more info.

Where has this been all my life?
I work for a place that thinks it's OK to buy the cheapest of everything and anything so there's a ton of servers that are too cheap to have BMC in them. I was looking for a way to control them remotely and for a long time I wondered if something like this exists, and it DOES!! I hooked it up to my P.O.S. ThinkServer TS140 and in minute I'm controlling it via an HTML5 KVM interface! Friggin awesome, bro! I can't contain my excitement and satisfaction with this little thing. Frankly, they could sell it for $200 and I'd still buy them. They're THAT good.

Plenty of problems
Not good. Has plenty of weirdness in all aspects. Ethernet speed negotiation, h264 doesn't work, grounding issues that sometimes make ethernet very slow, screens that get "almost" all area captured. Not a good experience comparing to a first generation 250usd piKVM.

A youtube video told me it's cool.
what is it? no instructions. No idea how to use this.
