Revainrating 1 out of 5

I liked everything until the USB plug fell off.

Loved it until a few months later (with no unusual wear and tear) the USB-C connector broke. Because this key was used in multiple places for 2FA, I had no way of identifying myself when the key suddenly failed.

Pros
  • Storage
Cons
  • Weak

NO HACKER EDITION - Also, the USB-C port is weak

My original SoloKey v2 lasted just over a year before the USB-C port broke. As I use DiceKeys I just ordered a new one to reprogram with my secure seed. It turns out that while the SoloKeys website link will take you to order from Revain, it is NOT the "hack version" required to change the seed on the device. Revain accepted the return with no issues, however I am annoyed that I had to send the unit back and order again directly from SoloKeys.com. :(

Pros
  • USB Sticks
Cons
  • I'll add later

Only lasted 4 months

I bought mine direct from their website but after 4 months it broke on the keychain. In fact, it's just a circuit board in a flexible silicone sleeve. Build quality is rubbish.

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • Communication with seller

Lock, but no cigar

Cool idea, but the key is of poor quality. I had to return this dongle twice, once because it was locked on arrival and once because the USB connector did not seat properly on the board. Unfortunately, this seems to be the only NFC + USB C security dongle currently available, so I don't have any obvious competitors to replace it with.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Dubious purchase for old people
