Does anyone have a solution for a cheap remote KVM? All the solutions I’ve found are around $100 and I don’t want to spend that much.

I might even settle for a portable KVM if it’s really cheap.

I have a laptop and an Android tablet that I could repurpose, if that helps at all.

    You’re thinking of a desktop KVM for connecting multiple computers to one set of devices. This post is asking about network attached KVMs for providing remote access to virtually a keyboard, monitor, mouse plugged directly into a machine. This allows out of band access to things outside of the operating system - e.g. bios/efi, entering full disk encryption passwords, even pressing power/reset buttons via jumpers to motherboard headers. This type of KVM is equivalent to Lights Out Managers like LOM/DRAC in the server world.
