Perfect for my CAC needs

I bought this keyboard specifically for reading my CAC card for work, and it works flawlessly. The smart card reader is built right in, which saves desk space and eliminates extra cables. The keyboard itself is full-size with nice, quiet keys. Highly recommend for any government or contractor employee.

Great budget keyboard with card reader

This keyboard does exactly what it promises. The card reader is very convenient and the keyboard is comfortable to type on. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because the keys are a bit stiff, but for the price, it's a great deal.

Solid and reliable

I've been using this keyboard for a few weeks now and it's been very reliable. The CAC reader is fast and the keyboard feels sturdy. I like that it's plug and play, no software needed. It's a bit bulky but that's expected for a full-size keyboard. Overall, a good purchase.

Decent but stiff keys

It works, and the card reader is fine. But the keys are a little stiff compared to my previous keyboard. It took some getting used to. If you're not picky about key feel, it's a fine choice for the price.

Stopped reading cards after two days

Worked great initially, but after two days the card reader started having issues. It would read cards intermittently and then stop altogether. I had to return it. Hopefully, I just got a defective unit, but I'm not taking a chance again.
