Review on ACR1252U USB NFC Reader III by Henry Brown

Revainrating 5 out of 5

does what it says

I recently bought a Yubikey 5 and I have it on my keychain. Instead of plugging it in directly, which can be tricky for the port and key (all my keys weigh a bit together), I wanted to get an NFC reader so I could just put my keys on it and access all of its features. Plugged it in, Win 10 recognized it as a CCID smart card reader. I put my Yubikey on it, squeaked once and was discovered. Pulled out gpg --card-status, found my card and read all the keys I had stored on it. It literally couldn't be easier. It's the right price and seems to be built pretty well, the beep is a bit annoying (but). It can be a bit sensitive to card movement but seems reliable enough.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Hard to say
