Review on πŸ”’ HID OMNIKEY 3121 R31210320-01 USB 3.0 Gray Smart Card Reader: Efficient and Versatile! by Michael Robinson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for developers and regular users!

I bought this product to see what I can do with the TWIC card. As soon as I plugged it in, Windows recognized it and imported the certificates from my card as you would expect from a PIV/CAC reader. When I got it I was wondering if I could use it for development and of course HID has a great development guide available on their website. I wrote a python script to check the FedEx Office copy/print card balance. The reader works great.
