This reader is now an oldie but a goodie. Purchased with the intent of using it on a Raspberry Pi running Debian Linux and with only a few hours and the internet I was successful. The reader is very simple and I was able to verify, as others have mentioned, this reader does NOT work with Windows 7.

I used to do consulting job about electronic and this item was one of the good product I remember. I actually owned several myself. It is a great little product at a affordable price. I brought back ages ago when it was still around $50. To most of everybody who use this item will tell you it is a good product, but not a 5 star winner. However, I disagree because I use it beyond it intended purpose, which is for user login and simple password login. I download advance software, which are available on the web for FREE, and use it for everything like data encryption, Bank account login, myspace and social login, and even remembering other passwords with only a touch of my finger. Pro: Small, simple, stylish look, easy to use, good quality (from Microsoft), USB 2.0 (fast speed), durable, and fun to have Con: the original software is limited, but you can download a better one on the net. Overall: Not exactly a 10 out of 10, but with a software upgrade and a little extra knowledge, definitely a 8 or 9 out of 10.Read full review

It can be a pain, especially the software. You have to install all these drivers, then configure it, then do all this stuff for the website recognition. It sometimes does not recognize your print. HOWEVER, it is efficient, small, cool, nice, and a real time saver. A-.
