Review on KeepKey Wallet by Arun Kaul
The Next Frontier of Crypto Security - Keepkey Wallet
If the larger size isn’t an issue and you don’t want portability, KeepKey wallet can be a good fit for you. It has all the security features one wants in a hardware wallet including security pin and recovery sentence.
The design and build quality is more premium than some of the most trusted hardware wallets in the market. There is an OLED display that shows transaction details and allows you to approve transactions easily.
Keeping all these features in mind, the KeepKey wallet is a great value for money option if you’re looking for a high-value hardware wallet.
As compared to the Ledger Nano S, the KeepKey wallet feels very premium with a very good build quality and a larger and better quality screen. Also note that you can update the firmware on KeepKey at the touch of a button, but the same is a complicated procedure on Ledger Nano S.
But design and quality aren’t everything. The Nano S is more portable as it is smaller in size. The Nano S is the size of a USB drive which makes it very portable and the metal casing makes it more durable.
Pros
- The wallet ensures high level of security and since it is offline, hackers can’t attack your account information or steal your funds.
- Security is as strong as the most trusted hardware wallet Trezor
- There is a clear OLED display which makes it easier to check transaction details and approve them
- You can use and transfer the most popular cryptocurrencies
- Although launched at a very expensive price, the new price makes it great value for money
- Good build quality and a great overall design
Cons
- It is bigger in size as compared to Trezor or Ledger Nano S. This makes it less portable and not an easy fit for your pocket
- Installation is easy but you can’t save your progress and leave it in the middle
- Requires you to add a software wallet like Electrum to use its apps
