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?

    Who the hell removed it from the rack. That ear is at a 45-degree angle

      If I had to guess it got damaged when transported in a box with hundreds of pounds of old servers stacked on top of it. Some of the other KVMs I saw were in pieces.

      KVM trays are generally only used for terminal/CLI access where widescreen doesn’t make much sense.

      Widescreen ones are available (though not as plentiful) when the user is regularly using GUIs on it.

        I’m starting to see a lot of 3:2 displays now. They are not quite fullscreen, but they are a lot better for reading documents than 16:9.
