This device is for people who want a safe and secure way to access their devices remotely. And it happens during out-of-town trips, vacations, business trips, or even when scooting over to Starbucks for coffee. Someone from the office, a client, or someone you know is asking for a file, but it’s on your laptop or another mobile device. The GL.iNet Comet Q is a physical device that’s attached to your computer or mobile device, allowing you to securely access it remotely.
Which is why it’s making waves on Kickstarter as the first all-in-one USB-C KVM device built for mobile devices, tablets, and laptops.
Unlike typical remote-control software, Comet Q works at the hardware level. Tools like TeamViewer or AnyDesk need the host computer to be awake and running, so if your device crashes or reboots, you’re out of luck. Comet Q solves this by plugging in with a single USB-C cable and handling video, data, and power independently. That means you can wake up, unlock, or set up a device remotely, even if it’s logged out or restarting.
Comet Q is small enough to fit in your pocket, weighing just 78.5 grams. It packs a 1.8-inch touchscreen for quick status checks and network setup right on the device. Inside, it runs on a quad-core ARM Cortex chip with 512 MB of LPDDR4 memory and 512 MB of NAND storage. Built-in Wi-Fi 6 and support for secure networks like Tailscale, ZeroTier, and Netbird make it easy to access your devices from anywhere, without messing with port forwarding or firewalls.
The device streams video back to any standard desktop web browser at crisp 2K QHD resolution and 60 frames per second, with two-way audio. You can stream video from Comet Q to any desktop browser in sharp 2K QHD at 60 frames per second, with two-way audio. This low-latency connection is great for iOS developers testing apps on real devices from a Windows PC, or for IT teams managing headless Macs in server rooms. Security is built in: unplug the Comet Q, and the remote session ends instantly, with no leftover software or tracking. Check out their Kickstarter page.
