Review: Reads Cards as it Should - This does the job, reads the info on a CAC card (is that redundant?), and connects with ease. Sliding the card into the reader is a challenge--not horrible, but the fit is tight. I like that it stands upright, a small plus, but a plus worth mentioning.
Review: Great reader for this price - I recently had my previous CAC reader go down, which left me in a pinch to say the least. It was less than a year old, so I looked into other readers and found this one. I have had 3 readers thus far, and of the 3, this one so far seems the better of them. The first lasted less than a year, the second I had trouble getting to read my card, but this one, I dropped my card straight in and it took right off, no trouble at all. I hope this one lasts a good long time. I intend on getting a backup in the near future (naturally no stores near me sell them and the closest is 3 hours away) and intend on ordering a second of this reader.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plug and Play and Easy to Use
*by K***G on August 31, 2018*

Easy to plug and play. Works with my DOD military ID card with no issues. I don't have a CD drive on my laptop to use with the included driver disc, but I found simple instructions on the disc that led me to their website, where I was able to get the drivers and install in a pinch. Very easy to use and highly recommended for the discounted price that this sells for.
