Nice. Very compact for what it supports.

Note the version with HDMI port is not available yet (only MIPI CSI ribbon connector available on aliexpress). Also I’m not seeing optocouplers for ATX power interaction so curious how that will work

PiKVM is fantastic, runs ok on old potato raspberry pi’s with usb HDMI input. I have mine scripted to interact with switchable hardware KVM so I can support multiple machines from a single PiKVM. Was a breeze to set up.

Open-drain outputs on the controller? It's already got a shared ground with the power supply, so it doesn't need full isolation.

This could also double as a cheap solution to grab screenshots from a HDMI-outputting device, right?

(ok maybe there's $3..5 USB thingies to do that? I haven't checked)
