🍒 Cherry AP POS ST-1044UB USB Interface Smart Card Reader for Desktop PC/SC, 100 mA Input Current, Black/Light Gray Review

Very well made product. I like that it costs so you're less likely to forget your card. It's heavy enough that the reader stays in place when you pull out the card, unlike the cheaper reader where you hold the reader in one hand and pull out the card with the other. The product is fully operational and I have had no problems with this reader for about 8 months. Co-workers liked it so much they bought it for themselves

This reader is heavy duty, reliable and easy to install. I like it because it's heavy enough that you can slide the card in and out without holding the reader and it doesn't get in the way like a card reader built into your keyboard might. If you're trying to decide between this and other similarly priced smart card readers, this is for you. I have used other CAC readers from Schlumberger and SCM and this is by far the most durable, reliable and easy to use card reader on the market.

With a very simple installation process and a safe feeling for children. I highly recommend this CAC reader. It's quite heavy and has a handle on the bottom that keeps it in place on my desk rather than rocking it. It's so "retro" that my kids are afraid to touch it because it looks like dad's work.
