This is pretty cool (for managing servers cheaply), but I remain disappointed that remotely controlling computers over a network with low latency is still a difficult task. I've been trying to find a way to use a bunch of machines remotely over my LAN (for gaming / media playback on multiple devices), and have been somewhat disappointed at the quality / latency of the various options I've played around with. It's especially disappointing when you have 10gbps networking, and sending uncompressed 1080p60 video over over the network with a couple ms of latency should be trivial, from a bandwidth perspective. Obviously this is a different problem than what you're trying to solve (remote management, so you have to do HDMI + USB stuff in hardware, adding some latency), but it's still annoying that there aren't great lower latency software options.

Steam link does it, and fast enough to play games with no noticeable latency.

Not sure what the magic is, though.

the latency is absolutely noticeable, the human brain adapts quite well though. i've switched mid-playthrough of ori and the blind forest (highly recommended btw) from a link to native 144hz and was blown away how easy the game has become :)

the point still stands: most games are very playable via a steam link.
