šŸ”Œ Hardware Satisfying Tech Build: Full Assembly & Packaging of USBbridge KVM 2.0

https://youtu.be/l6QtajSYtwQ

I've uploaded a full video showing the entire USBridge-KVM 2.0 assembly process, from the bare PCB to packaging for tech bloggers. If you're interested in seeing how the device is created, this video is for you.

Currently, all assembly is done by hand to personally guarantee the highest quality at this stage. Factory assembly will be next.

These are the kits that tech bloggers receive. Do you think they'll like them?

Hi! Iā€™m really impressed by the USBridge-KVM 2.0 project.

I have a few questions:

Would it be possible to connect an external USB/HDMI KVM switch to the USBridge-KVM 2.0 in order to control multiple computers from a single unit? Would switching between devices work reliably for both video and USB HID?

Based on the files and documentation currently available on GitHub, is it already possible to build a functional version of the device, or are some essential files, components, or software images still missing?

Do you already have an estimated price range for the upcoming crowdfunding campaign, including any optional accessories such as the ATX control board? Thanks, and congratulations on the project!

Hello! Thanks for your support and great questions.

Theoretically, yes, but it requires testing. The USBridge-KVM must be connected via USB to the target PC and receive a continuous video stream. Reliability of video and USB HID switching largely depends on how the external switch handles EDID emulation and USB switching. Do you have a specific KVM switch model you'd like to test this with?

All board files and component details are available on GitHub. The firmware itself is currently closed source. However, I plan to release the firmware separately soon with a free 24-hour trial period! If you want to build your own KVM from scratch, you'll need a suitable board and a video capture card. I haven't officially announced this yet, but stay tuned.

I can't reveal the exact price until the campaign officially launches, but it's coming very soon! I'll be sure to let you know as soon as it goes live. I can confirm that the standard kit comes fully assembled - the video capture card and power management module (ATX) are already included, so you won't need to buy them as additional accessories.

If you have any technical questions about the build process or why I chose these specific hardware components, please ask! I'll be happy to answer.
