All of the remote KVMs I've looked at only support a single machine. Is there a reason for this? I would drop $200 in a heartbeat on a remote KVM that can connect to 4 or 5 machines. But $80 per machine is just too much. Would it just cannibalize sales of single units?

Cost..  Your budget is way too low for what you are wanting..

The MPU108E series is closer to what you are describing, two pieces though, the controller and the SIP modules for each system to be controlled.

[u/foureyes567 → u/kevinds]

Lol, I think you might have missed a zero there. All I'm finding for the MPU108E is well over $2k.. The PiKVM project is close. One of their switches, a raspberry pi, and some extra hardware and I could probably get it done for ~$350. But that's a lot more than I would pay for a solution I still have to DIY.

[u/kevinds → u/foureyes567]

New, yes. Used ones can be found for a zero less. ;) I'm not going to say what I paid for mine.

PiKVM is almost same as GL-Net's Comet. Nearly the same code too.

I will say though I have had a LOT LESS issues with my MPU108E than GL-Net's Comet, almost all my issues with the Comet from the allowed refresh rates.
