HID OMNIKEY 3121 USB Card Reader

Buen articull

This is a great little card reader. It would have gotten 5 stars except it doesn't stay on the stand very well. I actually glued it to the stand and it does exactly what I need it to do.

If you are working from home and you work in an area where you need a device like this...you know what it does. Anyway this version is simply a plug and play device on a windows 10 laptop. It simply worked right off the bat and I did nothing but simply connect it and then use the appropriate card. I will buy another one for a spare, I like this for the reason I noted (it works) and that it stands vertical. Yea its plastic ...but so far its been a great tool that works well.

Very easy to use right out of the box, but not overly compact if using it from a laptop. Cheaper ones are on the market but this one works really well and arrived in only a couple days.

Very good product, much better than other smart card readers. Can require some effort to set up on some Linux distributions. Overall I can definitely recommend this product. The physical design of the product is also well made and will probably last a lot longer than other readers I've bought from other manufacturers. This product can also read full sized SIM cards for e.g. research purposes.
