SET UP IN MINUTES
Three Steps to Full Remote Control
No driver install. No complicated setup. Just connect, power, and take control from your browser.
Step 1
Connect via Built-in USB-C
Use the built-in USB-C cable to connect Comet Q to the device you want to control. For everyday use, Comet Q draws power directly from that device.
Step 2
Power It Externally When Needed
For long-hour operation, or when the controlled device has only one USB-C port and also needs charging, plug external power into Comet Q’s second USB-C port.
Step 3
Control from Any Browser
Comet Q connects to a nearby Wi-Fi network so you can access its admin panel remotely from any device, on any OS. Even if the controlled device is offline or restarting, control stays with Comet Q.
Browser or Software. Zero Subscription Fee.
Every feature you need is packed into a compact device that fits in your pocket.
One Cable Does It All
A single USB-C cable carries video, data, and power simultaneously. Plug in Comet Q and you're ready. A built-in USB-C passthrough port keeps your device charging while you work.
Works When the Device Is Asleep, Locked, or Offline
Comet Q operates at the hardware level. Stay in full control even if the controlled device is logged out, asleep, or offline. This feature enables a seamless workflow even with a laptop lid closed.
Control Any Device, Regardless of OS
Access from a laptop or desktop? Open any browser and you're ready. Controlling from your phone or tablet? Download the Comet Q app for the best experience. Check out app https://www.gl-inet.com/en-us/pages/app-rm?country=US.
Hardware-Level Remote Control
Comet Q operates at the hardware level, ensuring any active session ends the moment Comet Q is disconnected. No residual access, no background processes left running.
1.8" Touchscreen Setup Right on the Device
The circular touchscreen on Comet Q's face means you can complete the initial setup without opening a laptop. Everything is self-explanatory from the moment it's in your hand.
Tailscale & ZeroTier Support
Built-in support for Tailscale and ZeroTier lets you access your devices securely over the internet.
Why Needs This
Why Do I Need to Remote Control my iPhone?
Troubleshooting a family member's phone or managing a device you're not near usually means you're stuck, until now.
Comet Q connects directly via USB-C to give you hardware-level control over your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, accessible from a browser on your PC.
- Developers can interact with a test device, check UI behavior, and debug remotely
- Content creators can control a dedicated recording device from across the room
- Family members living apart can remotely help with everyday tech, from clearing storage, updating apps, fixing Wi-Fi settings, or walking a parent through a video call
Comet Q brings the kind of remote hardware control usually reserved for desktops and servers to your mobile devices too.
Toal System Control
Touchscreen Interface
Browser-Based Access
The built-in touchscreen with an intuitive graphical user interface, lets you easily view and manage features that are important like connecting to a Wi-Fi network, and enabling or disabling the Cloud Service.
Access and control your Comet Q from any browser at glkvm.com. This maximizes convenience, without needing to install any applications to make sure you always have access to your Comet Q.
Dedicated App for the Full Experience
While browser access covers most use cases, some interactions — particularly touch gestures and precise input — are better handled natively. The GLKVM app is built to fill that gap, delivering a smoother, more responsive experience where the browser falls short.
The app is especially recommended when using a mobile device as the controller, such as operating a laptop from an iPad, where touch compatibility in a browser can be limiting. Available on Windows, macOS, App Store, and Google Play, the GLKVM app also lets you manage all your GL.iNet Comet devices in one place — no need to connect to each one individually.
Preset Wi-Fi
Device Sharing Feature
Multi-Device Management
2-Factor Authentication
WireGuard VPN
Wake on LAN
Comet Q lets you save and preset Wi-Fi credentials before sending the device to someone else. Set it up at home, ship it to your parents, and all they need to do is plug it in — no calls asking for help setting it up. True plug and play.
Need to give someone else access? Comet Q lets you securely share device access with multiple users, each connecting through their own individual account. This mitigate the risk of security compromises from shared passwords.
Every user connects independently via browser or the GLKVM app, making it ideal for team collaboration, remote tech support, training sessions, and handoffs between colleagues.
With Multi-device Management, users can view multiple Windows, macOS, and Linux computer screens simultaneously. This feature supports dynamic viewing, full-screen display, and customizable split-screen layouts, allowing administrators to monitor several devices in real time, including server errors and anomalies, without switching between computers.
We’ve also added cross-screen mouse and keyboard control, enabling users to seamlessly switch between multiple computers using just one set of peripherals for a smooth, efficient workflow.
Comet Q is built with security at every layer. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) lets you pair your preferred authenticator app for an added layer of account protection.
Set a 4-digit PIN to lock Comet Q's touchscreen and prevent unauthorized physical access.
At the same time, a one-time dynamic code is generated on demand when binding Comet Q to your account — a significantly more secure approach than relying on a fixed, preset device ID that anyone could potentially intercept or guess.
With Wake on LAN functionality, you can bring your connected mobile devices out of sleep or standby mode remotely.
Please note: WoL requires the connected device to be in a low-power sleep state; it cannot remotely power on a device that is completely turned off or dead.
