Pros & Cons
Pros
The fingerprint reader works to unlock my windoze computer. It logs me in to web page log in's just fine. I use it for my pc with a 15 plus characters password that is dedicated to providing therapy.
Easy setup and just the right size. The fingerprint key is convenient. I think it is a bit expensive, but it looked better than the cheaper ones.
Cons
The software is so broken. My company disables that software at the os level. Driver is installed as soon as you plug it in, but other than that - it does absolutely nothing. Had to pull it out with pliers and push the parts back together.
Highlights
Quality
Awesome device instantly usable easy plug and play had no difficulties so far very happy
I was not sure how reliable it would be, however it installed without issue and is very, very consistent.
Windows did not recognize it immediately, but after pulling it out and sticking it back in a couple of times it did.
There are no instructions, and kensington's web site support is and endless circle of no information or downloads.
Price
Twice as much money, but works every time.
Competitiveness
I think it is a bit expensive, but it looked better than the cheaper ones i looked at.
