Overview
Use your laptop as a keyboard, mouse, and monitor (KVM).
With Control3, you can control devices like a Raspberry Pi, headless server, or even a NVIDIA Shield without the need for an extra keyboard and monitor. Very usable for quick configuration, also supports direct BIOS access, no drivers needed on the remote computer.
To use this tool you need direct cable connections
-Mouse/Keyboard: a CH9329/CH340 KVM USB Cable
-Video: any Video Capture Cable (MS2130 chipset-based or better)
This makes Control3 an affordable alternative to professional Console Crash Cart solutions. Because of the use of the latest WinUI 3 libraries, Control3 delivers the best performance on any laptop that runs Windows 10 (1809) or higher.
Without Video Capture Control3 works as a remote mouse/keyboard only.
Without KVM Cable Control3 works as a simple high performance Video Stream viewer.
