This product only works with em410x cards. Unless you use one, you shouldn't use this product.

I plugged the rfid usb reader into both my mac desktop and my windows desktop (and also an iphone with a lightning to USB adapter), mac desktop came up and said device found but not recognized (which is fine, i had to define it as a keyboard). windows desktop had nothing pop up. Iphone recognized it as a keyboard.Now, as it should have been plug and play, plugging it into any of the 3 devices, I should have been able to open up notepad and be able to scan a 125Khz RFID card and have the programmed numbers come up on screen, right?Wrong. Nothing showed up on screen, no input, no numbers, nothing. No beeping, no error, no changing the light color from blue to anything else. it simply did not work.I have another USB RFID reader that i've used for a while that works on every device and reads all my RFID cards so i know it's not my cards. plus I was able to have my other RFID reader work on my Iphone, so i know it's definitely not my Iphone. trial and error (and many years in IT) dictates that the device is faulty.I was hoping for $13, it would be a great thing to have for my job since we use RFID cards anyways (and if it did work, buy more of them to use), but alas, it did not work at all.Returning it and getting my money back.

When plugged in the blue LED lights, the PC sees it as a USB keyboard but it does not read cards... I guess more accurately I should say there is no output to Word/Notepad. Tested multiple cards with same result. In all fairness, I did not reach out for support. For $12 I'm just chalking it up to lesson learned... you get what you pay for.

I got this because I was curious about it. It's not the same wide, flat form-factor most readers are.Plugged it in to a Linux Mint 20.3 box and it immediately registered as a keyboard:# lsusbBus 005 Device 002: ID ffff:0035 USB Keyboard USB KeyboardWorks just like you'd want. Tapped a card on it and the numbers for the card typed right into console as expected. No drivers needed.The card needs to be within about 3/4 of an inch to maybe a half an inch from the device to register, which seems fine.It's odd form-factor, but once you rip it apart (see image) you see that the whole system is very flat, has generous wires from the solder points to the meat of the coil, and that you could move the coil and sandwich it to make a reader in a table, etc.I am really impressed with this thing.
