JetKVM Mini is a $39 wired or $42 wireless KVM based on an ESP32-P4X.

JetKVM Mini is a smaller, cheaper KVM with two models: wired (Ethernet, $39) and wireless (Wi-Fi, $42). It uses an ESP32-P4X microcontroller for 1080p@30fps video capture, keyboard/mouse, and virtual media. The aluminum case is matchbox-sized. Wireless Mini W includes an ESP32-C5 for 2.4/5 GHz and Bluetooth setup. Firmware is open source. Secure boot is supported. Available October 26, 2026.

Both models share the same web interface, cloud access, and updates. Bulk packs of three drop to $33 or $36 per unit.

What commenters are saying

Reliability concerns dominate: one owner said two of three units stopped working, but others reported good experiences. A thread clarified the product is an IP KVM, not a KVM switch or Kernel-based Virtual Machine. Several users wanted 4K-only options or gaming support; some recommended Sunshine/Moonlight or ATEN switches instead. A few pointed to open-source alternatives like ESPKVM. One posted detailed requirements for high-refresh 4K KVMs, noting EDID issues.
