Core Features
Ultra-Compact Design
Keychain-sized form factor that fits in your pocket. No more carrying bulky KVM devices or searching for video cables.
Built-in Video Connectors
Direct plug-in capability with built-in male connectors:
- HDMI Male — Modern device compatibility
- DisplayPort Male — High-performance support
- VGA Male — Legacy system support (coming soon)
BIOS-Level Access
Direct access to target device BIOS, firmware, and startup management without network dependencies.
Network Independence
Stable headless control using built-in video capture and emulated keyboard/mouse (HID) input. No network connection required.
Upgraded Video Performance
Massive upgrade from Mini-KVM's 1080p@30Hz:
- Input: 4096×2160 @ 60 Hz (YUV420), 4096×2160 @ 30 Hz (YUV444)
- Output: 4096×2160 @ 60 Hz (MJPEG), 3840×2160 @ 30 Hz (YUV420)
- Compression: YUV420, YUV444, and MJPEG support
MicroSD Slot
File transfer between host and target devices
Cross-Platform Support
Host apps compatible with macOS, Windows, Linux, Android, and Chrome web app for universal integration.
Text Transfer
Effortlessly transmit text by simulating keystrokes—perfect for usernames, passwords, and code snippets. Supports ASCII characters including symbols and punctuation.
Text Transfer Limitations
- No Clipboard Integration: Only emulates typing, no image or document transfer
- ASCII Only: Limited to ASCII characters (no Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc. support)
- Length Considerations: Best for short text; large blocks may cause performance issues
Plug-and-Play Convenience
No software installation required on target device. Control begins immediately upon connection with no software traces left behind.
Audio Integration
HDMI embedded audio passthrough for complete multimedia experience. (Not supported on KVM-Go VGA; pending confirmation for KVM-Go DP.)
Open-Source
Fully open-source hardware and software for transparency and community innovation.
