youyeetoo Sipeed NanoKVM PCIE Version - ATX PC Remote Control, RISC-V Nano KVM Over IP, DDR3 RISC-V Development Board, Linux, 1TOPS NPU (with WiFi)

This works so well with my Unraid server. I usually access it via a web interface, but sometimes you just need mouse and keyboard access, like when installing bios updates or recovering from a problem. This lets me access everything from a browser without needing to hook up a mouse and keyboard. I also love that it has built in Tailscale support, which makes it really easy to access without worrying about ports. Setup over WiFi was a little tricky since it shows a TINY QR code you need to scan and my phone didn’t recognize it. Ethernet was very easy though. Hooking up the internal power and reset cables could have been a little easier; the documentation was kind of lacking. I got it figured out though and that feature has been a lifesaver. The included HDMI cable is very short, which would have been very nice on most setups but on my very large case it was just a quarter of an inch or so too short, so I had to use a longer cable and bundle it up in back. I would have liked if the included cable were a bit longer and more flexible. Overall, compared to other options on the market, this is a great tool and a really good value.

I bought these after my supermicro BMC died and nuked everything when it went out. No OS drive, it destroyed the BIOS on my HBA card thus severing the connection to the hard drives, so at least the NAS files survived. I like the OLED display that shows the USB HID status, HDMI status, and IP address. I built an AM4 server and can say this is better than actual server IPMI and doesn't have the risk of it destroying my data when it dies. I put in the download link to Proxmox into the downloader, mounted the ISO and installed it. That was amazing! The installation was so straight forward, just don't hook up the reset header or else the server will reset every 5 minutes, the USB cables that come with it don't work, and the USB C port is too close to my PCIE dividers on my cases, so that's why I took off a star. Troubleshooting was a bit of a nightmare at first. I wanted to return it. Now that it is working, I bought more of these to remotely manage my parents server and my backup NAS since they live 4 hours away. These can save me a lot of time if I need to reinstall an OS and edit BIOS settings. The OS appears to be a compiled kernel and only the necessaties to get the KVM working, so the OS is light weight. I like having a cheaper KVM since they chose 100mbps Ethernet and low end hardware with an OS that doesn't weigh the KVM down. The CPU utilization is usually around 80% in my testing. I didn't test the Tail Scale feature, custom scripts (executes when the host turns on), and Wake on LAN. The KVM recommends to change the admin password. I plugged one in and left it for a week, it forced me to change the password when I tried to sign in. I really like that feature and am embarrassed I didn't change the password when setting it up. Flashing an the OS on the SD card was easy, I had to do this twice while troubleshooting two KVMs. Overall I highly recommend this product. Customer service is quick to respond, the discord server also helped since other users had similar issues with their units. I love these so much I bought 5!

The Setup have its complexity but I got it to work. Something to note is the setup should be done with a phone initially to take the photos for the QR code (there is an option to show the IP but the screen is so tiny!) Besides that worked well, still amazed I don't need to connect my server to play with it

This is a preliminary review. Amazon has not yet notified me the package arrived although it was dropped off ten minutes ago. The product was well wrapped. Took me a bit to cut through the layers of bubble wrap and other almost indestructible package (thank you vendor). Purchased this because the value seemed great for all the features. Unfortunately, that is as far as I've gotten because it came with no instructions whatsoever. The product page on Amazon mentions a wiki (but no links could be found only a vague mention of ask for help and send an email. Normally this would not be a problem but because of the extras that were included (which would normally be great) there is no clear-cut one way to install the product. Will try YouTube and some other sources. Have high hopes for using this in a remote installation. EDIT: Unfortunately, due to the lack of information and being unable to get the required documentation I sent the unit back after being unable to find further information. I'm leaving this as a 3 star review because all of the good things I mentioned earlier. Why dump on them for translation and a picker's error. The return was handled rapidly by Amazon and I am now looking at a different company's product.

Lacks documentation, but works as advertised. This can be installed in either a PCI slot, or powered by USB-C and mounted anywhere. While a low-profile bracket is included, the WiFi antenna cannot be mounted, and needs a separate bracket. I wish they included a 2nd low profile bracket, instead of needing to find another way to get the antenna out of the case. Flexibility is fantastic though.. so... maybe 3d print an external case or drill a hole into another low profile blank.

Half the price of the GL inet Comet. Much cleaner install. But lacks some features and stability. Comes with 32GB SD card installed. It has advantages, but it also has disadvantages. The units are cheap and integrate incredibly well with a PCI-E based computer. I bought several and that triggered me to finally try Tailscale and it does work really well. Very easy to setup and use. The device itself is finicky and have had to reboot them each a couple times within the month of using them. Thankfully it’s as easy and ssh’ing into them sending a reboot command. But video and USB inputs frequently stop responding correctly. They also have no sound compared to the GL inet Comet. So far I haven’t found the perfect solution for working remotely. But instead use a combination of software based desktop sharing and hardware based sharing depending on what I need. Some practical issues to think about with products like these. They replace a monitor. They don’t have a pass through. If your PC has multiple video outputs just plug this into one of the other ones and tell your operating system to duplicate the desktop on both outputs. This doesn’t work well with multiple monitor desktops. If you want to see all monitors at once you need software solution like RealVNC. Both this unit and Comet have very noticeable lag. The cursor follows waaay behind. I suggest using MJPEG video encoding with these. Helped reduced lag a little compared to h264. These units do alter the color of the screen a little. White scale is a little darker/grayer than direct connection. The Comet does not do this. After using these, I don’t think I would bother with the WiFi or PoE models. If you just really need WiFi, that’s fine, but if you have a CAT5 available, just go with that. It’s much easier to setup. And the unit will get power from the PCI-E connector as long as the ATX power supply is functioning correctly. Even with the computer “off”, this will still have power.

I've had it for not even 2 months and the usb type-c port on it went completely dead. I've tried multiple cables and confirmed them working on the PC side, but nothing ever communicates with the KVM side. I've had usb issues ever since I got it and while I researched the github to see other people with similar issues, none of the solutions ever helped. It started out spotty where the keyboard/mouse would lose connectivity until the kvm/pc were rebooted, but now nothing.

Item worked great with my laptop. Just needed usb-c power connection. Just can't use power on feature. Both ethernet and wifi IPs were displayed. Neat little device.
