AKERU Portable CAC Card Reader, Military Smart Card Reader for Mac/Windows

Small, easy to fit in pocket. Worked easily with Windows 10. Had no configuring to do. It just worked.

If you want something very small and compact for traveling, this is it.

About the product: Works on USG-issued PIV card. The tuck-away USB cable is both my most favorite and least favorite feature. It's nice that it folds away but I'm concerned that it will wear out from being flexed back and forth during normal use. The compact size and slim form factor make it easy to slip into a laptop bag. Overall, I'm satisfied with the product considering it's low price. Technical details: Tested working on Fedora Workstation 36 running the standard GNOME desktop environment w/ Chrome 103.0.5060.53 There are multiple Chrome Apps/Extensions that claim to work with smart cards. The exact one I used is called "Smart Card Connector" with extension ID "khpfeaanjngmcnplbdlpegiifgpfgdco". (You have to look it up yourself, external URLs are not allowed in Amazon reviews) Even though "Smart Card Connector" installs via the Google Chrome store, it's actually a standalone application and not an extension that runs within Chrome. To activate the smart card reader: - Close all Chrome windows - Connect card reader - Run: Applications > Chrome Apps > Smart Card Connector - Click Add Reader - Select the card reader from the list The card reader will remain active for the remainder of the GNOME session or until the card reader is removed, at which point the steps above must be repeated. * The Smart Card Connector app will display a warning that it is only intended to be run on ChromeOS, and the card reader will show an error once added. These can be safely ignored, the card reader will work fine.

Works like a charm

The reader is small and looks great but broke with less than 5 hours of use. The best I can figure is the cable has an internal break. While I had an issue with the CAC reader, the company was quick to reach out and issue a refund.

Works for me cac

Didn’t work for me doesn’t read my badge.

Giving this a 3 out of 5 because the actual card reader is great, but the adaptors that come with it are not… both of them broke off inside of my computer. I’d recommend just buying a usb-c compatible one to start if that’s what you need.

マイナンバーカードが問題なく使えました

新しいカードリーダーを検討している中で、デザインが気に入り購入しました。 実際にデザインだけでなくクオリティも高く、またコード収納できるのできるので、驚くほどコンパクトです。現物初めて見たときはこれカード刺さるの？って思ったほど小さい印象でした。 これまではNTTのカードリーダーライターを使用していましたが、こちらのほうがデザインがよく、機能としてもB-CASカードの読み書きにバッチリ対応しておりエラーも出ませんでした。おすすめできます。

端子が収納でき、持ち歩きも可能。とてもいいです。
