Sliding the card into the reader is a challenge--not horrible, but the fit is tight. I like that it stands upright, a small plus, but a plus worth mentioning. Review: Great reader for this price - I recently had my previous CAC reader go down, which left me in a pinch to say the least. It was less than a year old, so I looked into other readers and found this one. I have had 3 readers thus far, and of the 3, this one so far seems the better of them. The first lasted less than a year, the second I had trouble getting to read my card, but this one, I dropped my card straight in and it took right off, no trouble at all. I hope this one lasts a good long time. I intend on getting a backup in the near future (naturally no stores near me sell them and the closest is 3 hours away) and intend on ordering a second of this reader. ## Features - DOD Military CAC USB Smart Card Reader for Government ID, National ID, ActivClient, AKO, OWA, DKO, JKO, NKO, BOL, GKO, Marinenet, AF Portal, Pure Edge Viewer, ApproveIt, DCO, DTS, LPS, Disa Enterprise Email etc. CAC Cards - Compatible with windows (32/64bit) XP/Vista/ 7/8/10, Mac OS X - Sleek Ergonomic Design -Gloss Black Finish.

Sliding the card into the reader is a challenge--not horrible, but the fit is tight. I like that it stands upright, a small plus, but a plus worth mentioning. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great reader for this price *by C***N on October 31, 2016* I recently had my previous CAC reader go down, which left me in a pinch to say the least. It was less than a year old, so I looked into other readers and found this one. I have had 3 readers thus far, and of the 3, this one so far seems the better of them.

Works with my DOD military ID card with no issues. I don't have a CD drive on my laptop to use with the included driver disc, but I found simple instructions on the disc that led me to their website, where I was able to get the drivers and install in a pinch. Very easy to use and highly recommended for the discounted price that this sells for. --- ## 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.bo/products/30749421-usb-a-cac-smart-card-reader-vertical-version](https://www.desertcart.bo/products/30749421-usb-a-cac-smart-card-reader-vertical-version) --- *Product available on Desertcart Bolivia* *Store origin: BO* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
