GL.iNet Comet Pro is rewriting the rules of remote system management. It’s the first desktop KVM device with full Wi-Fi 6 support, delivering 4K video passthrough, ultra-low latency, and enterprise-grade security — without the cable mess. Instead of wrestling with wired KVMs or clunky remote software, this Kickstarter campaign offers backers plug-and-play freedom to control PCs, servers, or workstations from anywhere in the world.

Why working through the GL.iNet Comet Pro feels effortless

Video that looks and feels local

The GL.iNet Comet Pro streams native 4K at 30FPS with just 30–60ms of latency thanks to H.264 hardware encoding. That means smooth visuals whether you’re managing a BIOS screen, editing video remotely, or troubleshooting a server. Unlike software-based solutions, the dedicated hardware architecture avoids lag and maintains fidelity even under changing network conditions.

Wi-Fi 6 makes cables optional

Traditional KVMs tie you down with Ethernet. The GL.iNet Comet Pro connects over dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (2.4GHz and 5GHz) for full placement flexibility. It even supports automatic failover between Wi-Fi and Ethernet, keeping uptime stable for mission-critical systems. This is a huge leap for IT admins, homelab builders, and creators who need reliability without rewiring their setup.

Audio that keeps you connected

Remote access isn’t just about screens. Built-in two-way audio lets you talk directly through USB or HD Out. That makes IT support faster and collaborative troubleshooting more natural. For everyday users, it means you can hop into a call while managing a machine without juggling extra apps.

Touchscreen control when you’re on site

A 2.22-inch touchscreen gives instant access to Wi-Fi settings, cloud toggles, and system functions. If network access fails, you can still configure the device locally. For newcomers, the intuitive interface lowers the barrier to using enterprise-level KVM tools.


Tools that fit how you actually work

Flexible software and cloud options

The GLKVM desktop app supports both Windows and macOS, consolidating multiple devices in one dashboard. If you prefer the browser, you can log in via glkvm.com with no installation required. Native Tailscale integration extends compatibility to other operating systems, while Wake-on-LAN lets you power up sleeping systems instantly.

Enterprise-grade security

With BIOS-level access comes responsibility. The GL.iNet Comet Pro builds in two-factor authentication, a four-digit hardware lock for the touchscreen, and full WireGuard® VPN support. Whether you self-manage your VPN or bind the device to Tailscale, you get robust protection without losing convenience.

Specs that back it up

Under the hood, the GL.iNet Comet Pro runs on a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor with 1GB DDR3 memory and 32GB eMMC storage. It ships with Linux 6.1 Buildroot, purpose-built for stability and security. Compact at just 170 grams, it still delivers professional reliability for demanding tasks.


Accessories that expand your control

Boot even from shutdown with the ATX Board

Connect the ATX Board to your motherboard’s pin panel, and you can remotely boot and manage PCs from a full power-off state. For IT admins and homelab enthusiasts, this ensures you’re never locked out of critical systems.

Fingerbot for physical control

Sometimes you just need a finger on the power button. The Fingerbot integrates with the GL.iNet Comet Pro to press the switch for you — ideal for forced reboots, crash recovery, or powering on machines without Wake-on-LAN.

PoE Splitter for hard-to-reach setups

In data centers or offices with limited outlets, the PoE Splitter powers the GL.iNet Comet Pro directly through Ethernet. It separates data and power, delivering 5V/2.5A output while maintaining gigabit speeds.


How the GL.iNet Comet Pro makes your work easier

Remote access that feels natural

With 4K video, low latency, and audio built in, the GL.iNet Comet Pro makes remote work feel close to being on site. That matters whether you’re an IT professional or a Kickstarter backer running a creative workstation from afar.

Freedom from cables and clutter

Wi-Fi 6 connectivity removes the need for permanent wiring, and the compact form factor fits easily into homelabs, offices, or travel kits. This flexibility sets it apart from traditional KVM devices.

Confidence in every connection

Two-factor authentication, VPN integration, and hardware locks give peace of mind for sensitive systems. Unlike many crowdfunding campaigns that overpromise, GL.iNet Comet Pro demonstrates a proven commitment to security.

An investment built to last

With its titanium-like durability in design, dedicated hardware, and expandable accessories, the GL.iNet Comet Pro is future-proof. It’s a one-time purchase that evolves with your workflow, saving both time and licensing costs compared to enterprise KVM systems.

Backed by a trusted creator

GL.iNet Comet Pro isn’t new to crowdfunding or networking. With more than a decade of experience and a track record in routers and IoT devices, they bring credibility that many Kickstarter campaigns lack.
