Story

If you’re tired of carrying bulky cables to control servers, single-board computers or headless devices, Openterface KVM-GO is here to change the game. It builds on the success of our Openterface Mini-KVM which is loved by more than 5000 open-source users. This ultra-compact gadget fits right on your keychain so you can take instant device control anywhere and anytime.

Say Goodbye to Video Cables

No more scrambling for the right video cable or dealing with complex setups. Openterface KVM-GO comes with a built-in connector. You can choose HDMI, DisplayPort or VGA to plug straight into your target device. It’s pure plug-and-play convenience that saves you time every time.

Plug In and GO!

To use KVM-GO:

  • Plug the built-in male video connector straight into the target device (like a server or SBC).
  • Connect one USB Type-Ccable to the target device. This works as the keyboard and mouse emulator.
  • Connect the second USB Type-C cable to your host device (such as a laptop, tablet or phone). This is the device where you run the Openterface KVM app to control the target.No drivers, no setup — it’s that easy.

No drivers, no setup — it’s that easy.

To support different video output standards, KVM-GO will be available in three models:

  • KVM-GO HDMI
  • KVM-GO DP
  • KVM-GO VGA (slightly bulkier — case design in progress)

 

 

 

 

Less is More

In addition to shrinking the size and eliminating bulky cables, we’re upgrading the internals:

Upgraded Video Processor with USB 3.0

KVM-GO features a significant video upgrade. Compared to the Mini-KVM’s 1080p@30Hz, this is a massive leap for high-resolution workflows. It supports:

  • Input: 4096×2160@60Hz (YUV420), 4096×2160@30Hz (YUV444)
  • Output: 4096×2160@60Hz (MJPEG), 3840×2160@30Hz (YUV420)

Goodbye Switchable USB Port & Hello microSD

We’ve removed the switchable USB port (found on the Mini-KVM) to save space. In this ultra-compact version, we’ve added a MicroSD slot, which is perfect for transferring files between host and target, or burning a bootable image to reinstall an OS on the target.
