I'm in the same boat and I'm currently waiting for https://jetkvm.com/products/jetkvm-mini-w to release. It's supposed to cost around 40$. I'll wait for a couple reviews, but the listing sounds promising.
I can vouch for the JetKVM. I have one from the very first kickstarter campaign, and it really is a nice piece of technology. With the new version with that low price you cannot go wrong.
I've got whatever their first one is. Its worked great, my only gripe is their cloud service requires google login. But it served its job which was to give me remote KVM when I was learning how to setup reliable RDP.
Its now attached to a box I use as a relays at a friends who has fiber. That box has a startup warning that I could never quite get to go away that requires one hit literally any key to finish boot. So I paid $70 for that...
Keeping my eye on this one. Thanks!
I have one of these on my backup Server. But about 2 out of 5 times the HDMI signal is not detected (after the Backup Server was running for a couple days) and I need to restart the Backupserver to get it working. restarting the JetKVM does not work. In comparison I had none of these issues with a NanoKVM. I don't know if it is a problem of the JetKVM or the Backup machine.
