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.
