  You're not missing anything :). I've got two TinyPilots - one I built using the linked instructions and I bought a TinyPilot Pro because, while pricey, I wanted to support a project that has made my life a lot easier.

    It's still lower priced than a Lantronix Spider, too.

Yeah tinypilot looks nice but they want money for every little thing even when you self-build. Seriously who doesn't want password authentication on their KVM? This is just a base requirement IMO. For an out of the box product maybe but when I chose to self build its at least in part to avoid costs. And for €350 a port you can buy a real AAA-brand KVM not to mention the yearly charge ($80) that most KVMs don't have. I wonder how many people spend this much money on it. But perhaps I'm not the target audience. I want KVMs for my home lab and $350 is something I'd spend on a full server, not a peripheral. But perhaps this is also a sign of standards of living in the US and Europe diverging. When I hear of senior devs making $250k per year when here they would make $50k, it's a big difference that will obviously make $350 a lot less expensive. But I would imagine that once you get into real businesses with money they would prefer real AAA-brand boxes and not a raspberry pi with a custom HAT in a 3D printed box :) I did buy a CSI board to try out pikvm. Hope it works well.
