## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great security and easy to use
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 4 July 2021*

Brilliant buy. A little bit pricy, but we’ll worth it for the incredible security and ease of use

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 13 January 2018*

Easy to use, works with any Operating System. I use it on my Chromebook without difficulty.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super secure but device does heat up a lot
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 5 August 2018*

Does exactly as it ssays on the tin. Very easy to setup and use. As the keys are relatively stiff you are unlikely to accidently enter wrong codes while the device is in your bag. Only downside: it really heats up when connected.
