Great CAC Reader: Computers and Accessories

This worked fine with Windows 8. I didn't have to download root certificates or a few extra programs to use this device. I am very happy with it.

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other options

However, it is said to be compatible with all versions of OSX.

It is supposed to be compatible with all versions of OSX but I have yet to get it working with Yosemite. But works with Windows 8.1. A bit pricey for a PIV/CAC reader.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Some bugs

Goes very well with my VA ID

Works great with my VA ID. Small and compact. Easy connection to your computer with a (quite short) USB cable. With the strap attached, it can easily be carried as a VA badge and used on all the computers I need.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Excellent product and service.

I bought this in January 2016 to replace with a retractable cord. CAC works with all programs I interact with as a federal employee. The USB cable on the back where it enters the case was frayed and eventually one of the cables broke in October. I asked about the product warranty and mentioned a broken wire and SuperDeals responded to my query and sent me a new one within an hour or so of my email. Good service!

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Makes me nervous

A good product is a wonderful company to do business with.

This was only returned because I work under a government contract and for some reason the installation and my computer would not accept this reader. I think there is a way to buy the software to make it work better. The company was great. We discussed options and then when I decided it was time to bring it back they were very open and professional as well as pleasant. I've read the reviews and know it works for some, so it might be me, but I just couldn't get it to work even using government…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Dear
