It's a great little device for the price. Physically, it's exactly what I was looking for it's small, incredibly lightweight, and doesn't clutter up my desk. When I plugged it into my Windows 11 PC, the computer recognized the hardware instantly, no fuss at all. Now, for the most important part that will save you a headache: this device will not read your eDNI straight out of the box. This isn't a fault of the reader, it's just how the Spanish system works.

Once you follow their online guide and get that software installed, this reader works absolutely flawlessly.
