Worked easily with Windows 10. Had no configuring to do. It just worked. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exellent reader. Does the job! *by W***N on May 25, 2026* If you want something very small and compact for traveling, this is it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works on Linux - Tested working on Fedora Workstation 36 w/ Chrome 103.0.5060.53 *by R***T on June 30, 2022* About the product: Works on USG-issued PIV card. The tuck-away USB cable is both my most favorite and least favorite feature. It's nice that it folds away but I'm concerned that it will wear out from being flexed back and forth during normal use. The compact size and slim form factor make it easy to slip into a laptop bag. Overall, I'm satisfied with the product considering it's low price. Technical details: Tested working on Fedora Workstation 36 running the standard GNOME desktop environment w/ Chrome 103.0.5060.53 There are multiple Chrome Apps/Extensions that claim to work with smart cards. The exact one I used is called "Smart Card Connector" with extension ID "khpfeaanjngmcnplbdlpegiifgpfgdco". (You have to look it up yourself, external URLs are not allowed in Amazon reviews) Even though "Smart Card Connector" installs via the Google Chrome store, it's actually a standalone application and not an extension that runs within Chrome. To activate the smart card reader: - Close all Chrome windows - Connect card reader - Run: Applications > Chrome Apps > Smart Card Connector - Click Add Reader - Select the card reader from the list The card reader will remain active for the remainder of the GNOME session or until the card reader is removed, at which point the steps above must be repeated. * The Smart Card Connector app will display a warning that it is only intended to be run on ChromeOS, and the card reader will show an error once added. These can be safely ignored, the card reader will work fine. ## Frequently Bought Together - AKERU Portable CAC Card Reader DOD Military Smart Card Reader, Universal Compatibility, for Mac/Windows with LED Indicator, Compact PIV & ID Chip Card Reader, Cable Management [EAO-10] - Identiv SCR3310v2.0 USB Smart Card Reader - ZOWEETEK CAC Reader USB C, CAC Card Reader Military, DOD Military USB Common Access CAC, Compatible with Windows 10/11, Mac OS 10.15 and Linux (Type C) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/404512203-akeru-portable-cac-card-reader-military-smart-card-reader-mac](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/404512203-akeru-portable-cac-card-reader-military-smart-card-reader-mac) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-08-14*
