Eikon Mini USB Fingerprint Reader

No let's get one thing straight, it does work. Eventually. Plug and go, a doddle to setup your fingerprint on Win 10. Then the fun starts. It doesn't recognise that fingerprint, try another. You moved your finger too quickly / slowly (delete as applicable). So after sticking wih it for a few weeks even my thick skin couldn't take the humour this thing gifts your colleagues as they watch you fiddle like a clown in the dark. Looking for an alternative

I purchased this to use with Windows 10 HELLO authentication. Whilst the driver installed ok, no matter how many times I tried to get it to work I never could. I tried different fingers, angles, speed of swiping etc. I tried on another PC and also asked my wife to try. Occasionally the setup wizard would complete but upon logging off and trying it I always got a failure.I don’t know if it works better if used on other operating systems but I cannot recommend it for Windows 10.I got a full refund and was very happy with the prompt customer service that I received.There is no online support. The URL on the packaging no longer exists.

Ordered the product to add fingerprint reading to an older laptop with Windows 10 installed.The product is plug and play and the driver installed automatically.Windows Hello works great and adding fingerprints is fast and straight forward.Total setup time, 3 minutes.I am very happy with this product!

Used on a WIndows 10 PC - install took ages for my fingerprint to be 'registered' whilst the unit kept resetting my USB connection causing keyboard to turn itself off and on. After numerous attempts it looked liked it was running. When i attempted to log on it woudn't recognise my fingerprint. Set up again - same outcome. Returned as not fit for purpose.

I bought this for my mother but as she is older, her fingerprints aren't very clear and the scanner had trouble in consistently recognising her fingers. It worked more reliably for me. I am also not keen on the need to swipe the finger over the surface either as it seems fussy on how you do this. Maybe a reader with a larger surface area where you can rest your finger on would be a better interface.So it's OK if you are young and have clear and distinct fingerprints and want something tiny and portable, but otherwise try or buy a better reader.

There is a bug on the current public version of Win10 x64, but that is corrected in the next update (I am an early tester so I have it).The fingerprint reader works fantastically well - I have had no problems with it at all and at 65 would be classed as an "older person". It reads my prints without any trouble and I am a gardener, so my hands are well worn.I have this also set up with LastPass, so now I don't have to type in my Master Password every time.Life is just a little better and more secure with this.Highly recommended.

Device detected straight away on laptop without requiring additional setup......Works great with Windows Hello......Quick and not too noticeable when installed.......

Worked occasionally after about 20 goes; eventually gave up. Immature technology. Soon they will all work properly and cost £5. But not yet.
