Controll3r Documentation

Controll3r is a hardware crash-cart KVM for Windows. It lets an operator see, hear, control, record, and automate another computer through its real video output and USB input ports.

The target computer does not need a Controll3r agent, a target network connection, a target account, or a working operating system.
