I was shocked how easy it was to plug this in to my Windows 7 system and scan all my cards to a notepad document. Yeah, eventually I'll connect it to my POS software, but you can't get much easier than this plug-and-play card scanner.

I have purchased some cheap card readers in the past that ended up not working with the MACs that I run at my store. Fed up I kept entering the card information manually. Then I came across these that stated they work with MAC OS X and for the price I figured why the heck not. Got the first one in hooked it up and it worked perfectly! I have since ordered a few more...... For the price, these cannot be beat!
Just make sure the program you are using needs the keyboard emulator type reader and not the HID reader as this is the keyboard emulator type.
Three thumbs up!

I purchased 6 of these for a client's professional office. Their intended use is to accept swiped credit card payments from each desk, so that they or their clients don't have to go to one central area to process credit cards.
Setup was simple - just plug the reader into a USB jack on the PC and it automatically recognizes it and installs the drivers (they were installed on Windows XP and Windows 7 machines). About 30 seconds later, it was ready to go.
For the money, it's not a bad little piece of equipment. We'll see how it holds up over time though.
Two small complaints though:
1) I purchased 6 of these. Only 5 of them worked. The 6th one was dead on arrival - plug it in, it's not recognized and the green LED doesn't illuminate. It's going back for exchange.
2) The plastic doesn't feel as "solid" as other units I've purchased. That's why I say we'll see how it holds up over time. My only fear is that it'll eventually break apart with use. But, I'm not going to knock the unit for that unless it happens.
Overall, I'd recommend this product. Yeah, a defect rate of 16.7% is high, but it happens - when something is mass produced, and shipped via UPS, anything can happen.

Basic scanner, works as advertised
I bought one to try out, then came back and bought four more for a web-based POS I've developed. This is a basic HID device. Plug it in and it gets recognized as a keyboard. Read more
