Will You Pay $119 For This Open Source KVM Built on Rust and Buildroot?

LeafKVM is an open source KVM-over-IP device currently crowdfunding on Crowd Supply at $119. It runs a Buildroot 2026.02 LTS Linux system with a Rust backend, housed in a CNC-milled aluminum enclosure. Key features include a Rockchip RV1126B SoC, 512 MB RAM, a 2.4-inch touchscreen, HDMI capture up to 4K/30fps with under 100ms latency, Wi-Fi 5, PoE support, and Tailscale VPN integration. The web frontend is a GPL-2.0 fork of JetKVM. It targets IT engineers, sysadmins, and embedded developers needing remote headless hardware access. The project has raised 82% of its $10,000 goal with 40+ days remaining, with units expected to ship in mid-January 2027.
