A few contactless USB CCID smart card readers have been tested and different features are available:

PC/SC v2.01 readers with given tag technology support should work

  1. Works with with operating system CCID driver (no driver installation needed)
  2. Feitian reader does not power down the chip after inactivity. Leaving a card on the reader for extended time can cause a heated up chip, which may result in unwanted consequences.

  • Type 4 tags are the likes of Fidesmo Links
