JetKVM is much like nanoKVM but a slightly polised version.
What is JetKVM?
JetKVM is a high-performance, open-source KVM over IP (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) solution designed for efficient remote management of computers, servers, and workstations. Whether you’re dealing with boot failures, installing a new operating system, adjusting BIOS settings, or simply taking control of a machine from afar, JetKVM provides the tools to get it done effectively.
As far as I know, these Jets are not available for retail yet, but can be bought via their kickstarter.

What do you mean by "suspicious"? What are your worries?
Price, too good, to be true.
Similar device the PiKVM, starting at 139.09 USD e.g. PiKVM v3.3 HAT.
Plus cost of Raspberry PI 4.
That's not too surprising since it's Pi based, and that stuff is really expensive. The PCBs in those 2 links also look to use a lot of through hole parts, and are not optimized for low cost mass production.
The JetKVM looks to use a cheaper SBC probably with a custom PCB actually designed to be cheap to produce, so it doesn't have the Pi premium slapped on it.
I’ve got two JetKVM units on the way.
TinyPilot and PiKVM are just way too expensive in Australia. Buying two would cost me about $1000 AUD, but two JetKVMs are only $260 AUD.
Ouch I'll just stick with the Nanos for now. Not in Australia but country probably has similar costs.
Sipeed nanokvm is around 50$
Edit: you can use this https://github.com/jacobbar/fruity-pikvm to use orange banana pi instead
Around same price as nonokvm. Don't know if I should replace mine with these.
Prices vary but there's also BliKVM where the V3 version is essentially a clone of the PiKVM (and goes for around 90 USD) and they have their own Allwinner chipset version that I have seen even cheaper than that (although not currently). So not too out of the ordinary.
Price to performance and (software) support.
According to the Kickstarter schedule, they're shipping units right now.
The last time this was posted I brought up pricing and schedule as being suspicious.
