### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Gen 1 to Gen 2 upgrade
*by R***R on 6 March 2026*

Great replacement device, but I did need to download and install their application to change any settings on it, so it wasn't plug and play for my use. I previously used the HID OMNIKEY gen 1 as well if that helps. Would purchase again.
