The PiKVM team is excited to present its new PiKVM Switch Multiport Extender - the most full-featured switch for PiKVM devices. After much anticipation, the PiKVM Switch is now available for order! The switch allows you to connect up to four target hosts to a single PiKVM and provides full control over them.
- ATX control on each port.
- Per-port EDID configuration.
- HDMI dummy plug functionality.
- True Plug-n-Play with no need for override.yaml setups and complete control via Web UI.
- Multifunctional RGB LEDs with beacon mode and customizable color schemes.
- Firmware update directly from PiKVM and ready for future hardware extensions.
- Compatible with V4 Plus, V3 and DIY devices based on Pi2-Pi4 except Zero and V4 Mini.
And now the best part: the switches can be chained! Need four ports? Get a PiKVM Switch Multiport Extender. As your server fleet expands to eight, simply add another switch and link it to the first one. Need even more? No worries — connect up to five switches and enjoy 20 fully functional ports on your PiKVM. Say goodbye to replacing your entire KVM system!
You can order PiKVM Switch from our international store. Canadian customers can place an order at PiShop.ca. See also the detailed technical descriptions and documentation on docs.pikvm.org.
The first batch will start shipping at the end of December 2024 and the second batch will be at the end of January 2025.
