Comet Q: World’s First Browser-Based Remote KVM for Laptops and Smartphones, Coming to Kickstarter

Hong Kong, April 29, 2026 – GL.iNet, a leading developer of secure networking and remote access solutions, announces the upcoming launch of Comet Q (GL-RMQ1), the world’s first all-in-one USB-C remote KVM that controls your smartphone, tablet or laptop over a single cable, with a touchscreen and Wi-Fi 6 built in.

Designed for modern mobile workflows, Comet Q delivers seamless, secure, and always-on remote control through a single USB-C connection. Unlike traditional software-based remote access tools, it works even when the controlled devices are in sleep mode, logged out, or experiencing network interruptions.


All-in-One Type-C Connectivity

Comet Q simplifies remote access with a single USB-C cable that handles control, video transmission, power delivery, and file transfer. This plug-and-play design eliminates complex setup processes and reduces cable clutter, making it ideal for both everyday users and technical professionals.


Maintain Access in Offline & Sleep Mode

Traditional remote desktop software relies on the operating system and active network connections. In contrast, Comet Q operates independently, allowing users to maintain control even when devices are:

  • Asleep or with the lid closed
  • Logged out of the system
  • Experiencing network outages or instability

This ensures uninterrupted access in critical scenarios such as remote troubleshooting or urgent tasks, as long as the laptop remains powered on and doesn’t enter a hibernation state that fully cuts off the HDMI/USB output.


Hardware-Level Security & Control

Comet Q supports secure networking protocols including Tailscale and ZeroTier, enabling encrypted, firewall-bypassing remote access without exposing sensitive data.

With a hardware-based approach and no dependency on third-party software installation, Comet Q provides a more private and secure alternative to traditional remote access solutions.


Designed for Flexibility and Ease of Use

Comet Q features a built-in 1.8-inch touchscreen, allowing users to quickly configure Wi-Fi settings and access cloud services directly on the device.

It also supports Wi-Fi 6 (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), delivering stable and reliable connectivity. Additionally, power passthrough charging ensures that controlled devices remain powered during long remote sessions.


Browser-Based Access, No App Required

Users can access and control their devices directly through a web browser on Windows, macOS, or Linux, without downloading applications or creating accounts. This significantly reduces setup time and eliminates compatibility issues across different operating systems.


Availability

Comet Q will launch on Kickstarter in Q2, 2026. To secure exclusive pricing, rewards, and priority access to Comet Q, consider becoming a VIP.
