ACR39 PocketMate II with USB Type C Connector represents an ACS new paradigm. No larger than a USB stick, this smart card reader is capable of supporting demanding smart card applications using full-sized contact smart cards. It provides value and reliable functionality to meet your security needs. Review: Functional - Easy to use and functional with no issues! If you’re not careful though you can lose it easily since it’s small. Make sure to store it in safe place this is my second time buying it lol. Review: Perfect, small USB-C CAC reader - I just purchased this for use with a new MacBook Pro with USB-C, with a DOD Common Access Card (CAC) on macOS 10.12 Sierra (with Thursby Software's PKard CAC middleware) and Windows 10 (under VMware Fusion, with no additional middleware). It works as expected without issue. Having used the tiny foldable SCM/Identiv SCR3500 reader for the older USB (USB-A) for some time, I was looking for a similar USB-C replacement so I wouldn't have to use a dongle. This works perfectly, and is exactly what I was looking for. the rotating/folding case is also a bit more nicely-designed than the SCR3500, and provides more proper alignment and support for the card when inserted. Very happy with my purchase.

Good product.
I like the product, it works well on my Windows PC, but it's not compatible with the Thursby app on the Google play store, which kinda makes it useless for the purpose I bought it for, there's also no alternative app option either.

Works as expected
Works as expected as a card reader for my laptop. As expected, the width blocks the usb-c port right next to it and makes it unusable.

Does not stay connected.
I've had this device for about 6 months and it has stopped being recognized by my computer, like the male end is too loose for the female end of my computer. It flickers back-and-forth of recognizing it and not recognizing it. My charging cable does not have this issue and stays connected, so I know it isn't the computers fault. Frustrating because I need this for work purposes, and have to delay working while ordering another product.

Does what I need it to do
Had one of these previously and it finally gave out after about 5 years. Bought it again and it does what it’s supposed to do. I use it to access DoD sites on my MacBook. Works great and low profile. No messy cables.

Partially works on MacBook Air M3
On my 2024 M3 MacBook Air, my CAC is only recognized for a few minutes using this reader. If logging onto other CAC-enabled sites/servers, I would have to remove the CAC from this reader and put it back in for it to work. It gets annoying when signing onto a virtual machine that requires multiple authentications. Instead, I bought the Identiv reader and that reader is working flawlessly so I know for sure that the issue is not with my Mac. With my iPad Air (5th gen), though, this reader works no problem. Made in Hong Kong (China).

Funktioniert super, um PKI-Smartcards mit PIN-geschützten Zertifikaten einzusetzen. Betrieb an einem MacBook Air (2024) klappt gut - der Kartenleser ist so breit, dass die Stromversorgung über USB-C zusammen mit dem Leser nutzbar ist.

Deze gebruik ik nu ruim twee jaar voor mijn tachograaf kaarten, en tot volle tevredenheid! Mijn collega's zijn stomverbaasd! Je hebt wel een goede app nodig uit de store, en een telefoon die USB otg ondersteunt.

Small, very light and works perfectly connecting my Estonian ID card to my Android phone for encrypting and e-signature.
