## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tiny, light, and works with windows built in drivers.
*by Z***A on April 4, 2025*

Perfect back-up CAC reader. I lost my previous one. It was so tiny, it slipped out somewhere so I grabbed another one. This is a great little reader. It does stick out of the side of the computer and occupies a lot of desk space so you have to be careful not to bump it. It folds down very tiny. Great to have for the laptops with no built-in card reader. I didn't have to instal drivers for it, windows recognized it immediately.It reads government issued CAC cards.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's small, it's simple, it works just about everywhere and if you can get it for $15 totally worth it.
*by P***. on August 18, 2014*

I don't understand how people have so many problems with this reader. I have used this on PC desktops running Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 8.1 and never had a problem. On Windows 7/8/8.1 it was plug and play for the purpose of accessing military websites (not for signing forms or managing certificates - this requires some FREE software downloads).I've also used this on my MacBook Pro Retina running OSX 10.8 and 10.9 and it worked fine for accessing military websites, but required a software download (go here: http://militarycac.com/apple.htm). I've also used it on a Mac Pro desktop on 10.9 and my Mac Mini server on 10.8 server, both worked fine to access websites, but required the software mentioned above.I love this device because I always have it on me and can plug it in to just about any PC to instantly have access to military websites. I use it on my civilian office PC, my friends' laptops and PCs, I even used it in a internet cafe computer in France, Spain and Morroco - no issues. Again, if it's a Mac you will need to be able to install some FREE software (unless it's running OSX 10.6) so it won't be exactly plug and play in those instances.If you have any problems using the card reader, I would suggest visiting http://militarycac.com for help - they give step-by-step instructions to salve practically any issue.DON'T LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO SAY THIS DOESN'T WORK - it will work, you just may need to change some settings or install FREE software from http://militarycac.com.**NOTE** It's also possible you have an old style CAC card which will limit this devices usefulness. Check that your CAC is on Oberthur ID One 128 compliant card (look on the back at the top in the grey writing of the card). If it says something else, it may not work. Go to http://militarycac.com for more info.
