### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by J***N on 30 November 2025*

It took a while to get a chance to try this with a real CAC card but I finally did :) I like this reader; my computer does not have a built in reader and this is a small form factor that is easy to carry in my bag. I work heavily in the identity arena and secure cards are one item I want on hand to demo with. This fits the bill, although I am not usually using a CAC card for the demos. I just wanted to make sure it could read an actual CAC card, although in all fairness I did not try it on a computer linked to the US military network. Reading the card is sufficient, if it was on the network there isn't any reason it will not work.
