Review on πŸ–₯️ ISO7816 Contact Smart Card Reader: DOD Military USB CAC Access, Windows, Mac OS & Linux Compatible (Black) by Adam Webbie

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works with the latest PIV cards but has some disadvantages

This reader works and is great value (hence the 4 star rating) but the following disadvantages made it unsustainable: - Slow data rate. The card is read much more slowly than, for example, an ACS or HID reader. - Very light and easy to move (the weight of the cable can easily tip this reader over) - Uncomfortably bright LED status indicator. I put a piece of tape on it to allow this reader to stand on my desk.

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Poor set
