Got this to use it for my pay and it works well. All I had to do was get the certs installed and it worked no problem. This is so much cheaper than the other ones I have found that worked with iPad and its size is very convenient when traveling. Love it and recommend it.

After purchasing two other SmartCard readers compatible with a 2023 MacBook Air M2 which required downloading finicky software which only worked half the time, I stumbled upon this one and was excited by it's promised plug and play versatility. It did not disappoint!

I can't speak to the long term durability but this one is sturdier than the similar looking ones on here. I do wish the cord was just a bit longer. However, given that it works well, doesn't interfere with the adjacent thunderbolt port and has a nice compact form factor when folded, I absolutely love it!

This reader offers a lot of quality of life. I'm able to just plug it in to whatever system I'm using and it just works no matter the OS. It has also been upgraded from the old USB-A model to help with the little wings breaking.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect macOS compatibility
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2023

Works fine with native macOS drivers (10.15, 11+); no vendor driver install required. openssh + pkcs11.so had no issues.

It does seem a bit fragile, and the USB-C connector is very tight. Pigtail is long enough to clear crowded ports, and if one is so inclined, a card can still be read with the physical card guides closed.

Overall exactly what I was after to replace a clunky desktop reader.

I had the USB version of this reader but it was a little thicker than my PC. I had to put some cardboard underneath it so it wouldn’t bend or break. This is a MUCH better solution.

I initially loved this smart card reader. It worked natively with my MBP and made using my smart card easy. However, it just stopped working before 4 months of use. I can't recommend a product that won't even last a year. Look somewhere else for your smart card reader.
