I have an ATEN KVM [1] that gets a solid "it does the job" from me. Occasionally a connected computer won't pick up the K, V, or M, and I'll have to reconnect a few times.
I use it to switch between my work laptop and my personal PC, and for this situation 4K is a must have. That, and the choice of HDMI instead of DisplayPort, and things that would keep me from getting a JetKVM.

- layer8 21d agoI use Aten KVM switches too, but they are a different type of product. JetKVM is for remote KVM access, not for switching between multiple computers. Both are orthogonal to each other. You can in principle combine a JetKVM with a KVM switch (and some people are doing that, though there are some technical pitfalls).
- noelwelsh 21d agoI see. Thanks for the clarification.
- fmajid 21d agoThe GL-iNet Commet X is a 4-port IP KVM. It does 4K, albeit at 30fps. https://nascompares.com/2026/06/26/gl-inet-comet-x-kvm-early-review/ https://nascompares.com/2026/06/26/gl-inet-comet-x-kvm-early...
- nirav72 20d agoI have the single port PoE version of the glinet. Its been rock solid so far. I’ve been wanting this 4 port version. But they’re sold out every time I check their site.
- fmajid 20d agoI got mine as a side-effect of ordering the Comet Q on Kickstarter... There is also the Comet 5G, which gives you cellular backup. I use it to control my OpenBSD home router when traveling if my Internet connection goes down.
- gschizas 20d agoI got that, it works very well. Of course putting it on 3 NAS systems (which I can even SSH into) was definitely overkill. But as Schlock Mercenary's Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries says, «There is no "overkill." There is only "open fire" and "reload."»
