My internal badge reader on my work laptop was not functioning. I needed it fixed ASAP but unable to get it repaired during COVID. So, I ordered this USB connected smart card reader. It works fine. Sometimes the connection gets bumped and I get logged out of my computer but overall, I am satisfied.

needed this for telework... sure you could purchase cheaper card readers on amazon, but if your work/livelihood depended on it, would you really go that route? i have been using this everyday for two weeks and no hiccups so far. i would recommend this to anyone.

I have used several readers over the past few years and by far this one has been the best and most effective. I would buy more.

Was easy to install and use. On Chromebook a couple of apps were required to link the card reader to the web site I was connecting with. These were readily available in the app store. Took several steps to connect everything, but done once, it all works great.

I purchased this Smart/CAC Reader after I being advised we’d be teleworking due to COVID-19. I have not been disappointed. Plug and play, reads my PIV without any issues. A great investment and so happy I don’t have to take my work keyboard home.

I’ve tried several smart card readers out there but Belkin has been the only one that was fully compatible with my laptop. It helps to ask customer service for recommendations as different computers have different softwares

Good solid reader for use that requires a CAC reader. Needed a new reader because my previous reader became obsolete and not able for use.

Easy to get to work. Just plug in and go to work. It's good to have a back up too since sometimes my built-in reader doesn't work. Small enough to pack for travel.

Worked right out of the box.
Remember, you must first perform several setup tasks on your computer to read military ID cards for any card reader to work.
This Belkin card reader is simple and affordable, perfect for working from home.
