GLI Comet is much better from my experience.

Can GLI Comet allow my laptop to control a device without needing a network connection?

That seems to be what NanoKVM-USB does. But GLI Comet seems to be KVM-over-IP?

  • I use Comet in remote field by plug the ethernet it expects to the laptop. Both will set up the link local IP and accessible in browser without internet

  • You might be able to use something like usbipd to forward the USB port from your target machine?

Different use-cases. The Sipeed product comparable to the GL-RM1 is the NanoKVM Cube. Comparable to the GL-RM10 is the NanoKVM Pro (Desk).

(Of course you could use the Cube on a crash cart, too. Just like you can use the butt of a screwdriver to hammer a nail.)
