Good to note—I should at least in the video have a little text overlay that shows 'KVM = Keyboard Video Mouse'. You forget sometimes how acronym-laden our industry is, and even the ones you find most basic... better to spell it out for someone who might not operate in the same area.

It's more important that one learns what a KVM is rather than what the letters stand for. Like you don't need to know what laser stands for to know what a laser is.

Edit: I say these here mainly because expanded out, the title says "Raspberry Pi 'Keyboard Video Mouse's Compared". That still means nothing to someone who doesn't know what a KVM is (actually makes it sound like HID devices specifically made for the Pi).

Even more when the same acronym is also used for Kernel based Virtual Machine.. very confusing!
