Review on KeepKey Wallet by Danh Huỳnh Ngọc Công
Keepkey - A wallet with cheaper price and a bigger screen!
Keepkey is a cheaper hardware wallet than other big competitors such as Ledger or Trezor. It has a professional design and a big display screen. Using it is very easy and simple so everyone can make the best out of it. However, its firmware quality is not as stable as the other famous one and the customer support is not so reliable. I'm not sure if Keepkey will be a good wallet for the long term. I hope they will make some changes to the current product!
Pros
- - Keepkey has a bigger screen than its competitors such as Trezor or Ledger. With this screen, the wallet can display more contents with a more readable word size
- - Its design looks very professional with edgy borders. Male customers will be more likely to love it because carrying it makes them look like a boss.
- - Keepkey is a hardware wallet so its security is ensured. No malicious malware or hackers can get control of the owners' private keys. The PIN code is used to protect the hardware. If the hardware is lost, stolen, or damaged, they can recover the wallet with the seed phrase
- - It is very easy to manage, send, and receive cryptocurrencies with Keepkey. The big display screen is a good alliance for someone who needs sufficient information about their balance
- - Transaction speed can be adjusted to that it will fit the desire of the owners. With any options, Keepkey can help to solve them. Transaction history can be tracked by the users helping them manage their assets properly
- - Keepkey is backed by Shapeshift - an old-age and trusted swap exchange. It is also featured on many articles on the famous medias such as The Cointelegraph, Forbes, CoinDesk, and Nasdaq, etc.
- - It has a chatbox for customer support which can be found right on their website. The service can also be reached via email if there is any problem
- - The product is transparent and open to the community as its source code can be viewed publicly on Github. This is one of the reasons that increases the confidence of the customers in the product
- - Its price is more affordable than the other hardware wallets so people with a tight budget can regard it as a good option
Cons
- - They support only a modest number of cryptocurrencies while competitors such as Ledger or Trezor is capable of storing more than one thousand coins and tokens
- - There are some technical issues with both the hardware and the extension so it may be frustrating with the unlucky users
- - Their customer support is told to be not helpful and can't solve the problems of their customers. This is quite bad for a wallet backed by Shapeshift
- - While it is cheap to get a Keepkey wallet, most of desktop app wallet, mobile wallet, web wallet are free and comes with excellent features so they are reachable to a lot more people
