No, there is no need for anything additional, you can power your RPi and or the PiKVM Mini with the USB-C variant.
??? question "Do I need a power splitter? Why do I need one?"
* Yes for RPi4 - Please see the main v2 document for splitter types listed under V2 hardware
* Yes for Zero W and Zero W 2, if using dedicated power you still need to split the power from the data towards the target. If using the target for power, this is not needed.
* This is not needed if you have a PiKVM V3 and V4, as they splits power and signal on the board.
??? question "Do I need a USB splitter for data and power lines? Why do I need one?"
* This is the case of DIY PiKVM. You need a splitter to prevent backpowering from PiKVM to the host over the USB cable. See detauls [here](v4.md#required-parts).
* This is not needed if you have a PiKVM V3 and V4, as they splits USB power and data on the board.
??? question "Can I use PiKVM with non-Raspberry Pi boards (Orange, Nano, etc)?"
