MSR90D Mini USB 3 Tracks Swipe Magnetic Credit Card Smart Card Reader ITOSAYDE

Plugged it in and it worked perfectly

We are using it for customers who pay face to face but want to do it through our web site. The swipe reader instantly populates their card number on the form on our web site. Great product.

This product does what it is supposed to do and would recommend based on price point, however it has it's PRO's and CON's to consider as outlined below.PROs:+Easy setup on PC - No Drivers Required+Long USB Cable+Good Overall Design+Reads nearly all types of mag cards (except hotel cards) on the first read+USB cable is not rigid, allowing for easy desktop/workstation routing+Comes with Cleaning Card+Comes with basic instructions (sad this is listed as a PRO, however many companies are lazy and simply do not bother with any instructions these days)CONS:+Hairline crack on side casing (QA Issue), will eventually break in a production environment - (2 stars off for this - Normally would be 4 stars off, but product is usable, but will not be durable for long term use)+USB cable attached internally only by zip tie (Don't pull too hard)+No screws to mount+Will not read MOST hotel chain mag cards

Works right out of the box with no setup required. The card reading function is accurate and fast. For the price, you can't do much better.

Installation was as easy as plug it in. Windows detects it as a keyboard input device and you can start scanning right away. I did find that it mainly only worked in one direction. I could get it to scan in the opposite direction with mixed results or only half the data coming through. I also wish it had a rubber bottom to keep it from sliding as in my application did not want it permanently fixed. You can easily add velcro or double sided tape though. Even though it did not work for my intended application it did work as advertised so I can't knock it for what it was made for. Should be fine for a POS terminal or any card reading application.

I suppose it could have been user error but in our defense we bought the same model card reader a year ago but received a different reader than this. We use it at work daily but wanted a back up. Of course that one still works well and is why we tried to buy the same model. We received a different version of the same product from a year ago, but the new one couldn't be made to work.
