Hello everyone,

We're thrilled to bring you another exciting update as we near the end of our campaign. With $1,845,519 pledged from 13,076 backers and only 4 hours to go, your support has been truly incredible.

Manufacturing Update

PCBs Completed

Production of PCBs is complete, and they've already been shipped to the SMT factory for assembly.

SMT Underway

Surface Mount Technology (SMT) assembly is well underway. This crucial step brings JetKVM's electronics to life by adding all the surface-mounted components.

Displays in Production

Our displays are currently being manufactured and should be completed tomorrow. The touchscreen assembly has been customized specifically for JetKVM, making the integration process smoother and enhancing overall reliability.

Community Hardware

One of the most rewarding aspects of the JetKVM project has been seeing the creativity of our incredible community. With more than 2,500 members in our Discord, the creativity has been truly inspiring. From custom 3D models to custom hardware, your contributions are showcasing the potential of JetKVM as a hackable and open-source device.

Here are some highlights of what our community has been working on:

  • PoE Splitter & Case - A sleek Power over Ethernet splitter designed for powering JetKVM via Ethernet, now available with a protective case.
  • Mounting Solutions - From 19" rack mounts for multiple JetKVM devices to under-desk mounts and protective sleeves.
A community-designed PoE splitter board for JetKVM.
