Received this today for my new laptop. I bought the 16” ASUS VivoBook with the Ryzen 7 top-tier CPU for $399 and the CPU is legit worth every penny, but the downside to the laptop is it doesn’t have a 144Hz display, fingerprint reader, or backlit keyboard.Seeing how cheap this was compared to other hardware I was hesitant, but Kensington is a brand I trust so I took the leap. It installed the needed drivers in Windows 11 Pro immediately on insertion and within two minutes I had it programmed and working for Windows Hello login, Microsoft 365, and OneDrive Personal Drive. Kensington pulled through.I am using it in the USB 2.0 port on the left side of the laptop and when it’s ready to read, it engages the blue light letting you know it’s ready to scan, then turns off as soon as the biometrics pass.It works quickly, even with 2.0 (lower power, why I chose it), and the driver it uses from Windows works well. I didn’t even get a hit for a second/better driver with Iobit DriverBooster Pro, so I am pleased Kensington delivered.It came rattling in the box, which I very much disliked, but it’s a solid component that works well. I recommend. I can’t speak for its longevity, yet, but I will if anything negative happens. No news is good news. Cheers!

Easy troubleshooting:1. This is a security hardware device. It must have direct access to your motherboard. Most laptops have a USB directly attached to the motherboard and do not run through a hub. But the USB ports on the FRONT of your desktop are not attached directly to your motherboard! It’s a hub! Therefore this device will not work as it detects the hub as a possible MIM (man in middle attack) and will correctly refuse to work.FIX: Buy a USB cable, run it to the back of the desktop PC and plug the finger reader into the other end, bit of tape to hold it to your table and reboot. Open the “hello” section and add it as you need it.Driver problems: Win11 had problems with this reader. But if you look at the dates on the reviews they are old, years old. It’s fixed for 99% of users now and requires nothing more than a reboot.WORST CASE SCENARIO: Driver won’t load? Manufacturer website has it all covered. Easy even for non techs.Failed Reads: Usually just moist fingers or read needs cleaning. Glasses cleaning cloths are the best. Do not use cleaning supplies or it may not work again.Hope this helps. I thoughly recommend it! It’s got more to offer if you need it and I have not one problem to report.

I like the product right out of the box! Also the product was delivered on time! The driver or delivery person did an awesome job! This person should get a raise! : )

Don’t know what to say other than just get it. It may take a minute for your pc to recognize you plugged it in. Then you can go to your settings and add it you’re sign in options. If you added a finger, but it was having difficulties recognizing it, add it a second time in a different position, especially before and after a shower.

So far so good. Windows 11 (23H2) pulled the driver immediately, just needed to reboot upon install completion.It’s much faster and more accurate than the last reader I had (some random brand called “Benss”) I’ve used it about 40-50 times so far and it’s only had one failure at reading, where my old “Benss” would fail 1/3 times.Your finger can be moist or dirty and it still reads well. One thing I haven’t checked for yet is false authentication. I will update my review if it starts having any issues.5/5 so far

Kensington VeriMark Desktop USB Fingerprint Key Reader (K62330WW):I’ve only been using this fingerprint reader for a week on Windows 11 desktop pc, but these are my findings so far:-very fast reader .4sec (compared to 1.70secs for $139 “Verifi P5100 Desktop USB”)-only need to momentarily tap your finger on the reader (unlike having to hold on Verifi P5100)-the LED is nice (2 white led blinks) to show you finger detected even if the pc is in powers ave-on Windows 11/Hello PC: the fingerprint reader will power on monitors-seems to detect finger(s) very reliably time after timeI’m very impressed with the fingerprint reader (especially after trying various other usb fingerprint readers over the years). This ~$70 device outperformed the $139 Verifi p5100 greatly.

For me (and this may not apply to everyone obviously) this could not have been easier to set up! I plugged it in to my desktop PC’s top USB port, and it was recognized and installed in less than 30 seconds. After that it was a simple Windows Hello setup, and I was good to go. Probably less than 3 minutes. I used a USB 2.0 port BTW just to insure better compatibility.NOTES: I should mention that I am working off a custom high-end 3D workstation, so given the near infinite system configurations? There’s no guarantee that it will be so easy for YOUR system, though it “should” work just fine for many out there. I will say, whether it’s a Windows 10 or 11 machine, just make sure to run Windows update beforehand, maybe even restart the machine just in case, and then plug it in.
