YARONGTECH RFID MIFARE Card Reader 13.56mhz USB

I am very pleased with this reader. I own a car wash and issue keyfobs to my fleet customers and as gift cards, and this enables me to read the ID and set everything up for the fobs remotely - so I can mail them out without having to go to my business. This is just a keyboard wedge, so it is in plug and play for most. My particular fobs were not reading correctly - I reached out to support and received the download link to the configuration tool for the reader. With a little bit of trial and error, I was able to find the configuration which reads my fobs appropriately. Support was quick and got me what I needed. I could not be happier.

Reader works great, but acts like a keyboard input, generating an 8 digit hexadecimal string. I am trying to use this with a Ubiquity system, and it is not directly compatible, as Ubiquity does not accept keyboard input - they want you to use a $300 reader. However the keyboard input can be used to populate a CSV file, which Ubiquity will import. So there is a workaround to get this to work with Ubiquity for a whole lot less than their reader.

It includes two cards in the box. It reads the first 10 digits of a card when you scan it and automatically presses enter. I just plugged it in and it worked without any setup! The scanning range seems to be pretty good. My only complaints are that the buzzer is a little too loud and can’t be disabled without opening the device. Also, the scanning part has a bunch of text and markings that are permanently imprinted on it which looks kind of tacky. Overall, this is a great product and works just as well as other like it, but for much cheaper!

Does not work as reader with NFC-Tools software on either Windows or Linux OS. Error message device not connected or device not recognized.

Works as advertised. No set up required. Plug and Play on Win 10.
