About this item
- Bank-Grade Security that is Simple: KeepKey is the most secure bitcoin wallet available. It makes best-practice bitcoin security easy so that even your grandmother can protect her bitcoin wealth.
- Backup and Recovery: During initialization, you are given the one-time opportunity to write down a backup of your KeepKey in the form of a twelve-word recovery sentence. If your KeepKey is lost or stolen, you can safely recover your device and its bitcoins without compromising the security of your private keys.
- Virus and Malware Proof: Because KeepKey does not have an operating system, the layers that viruses, malware, and key loggers infect do not exist on the device. Using KeepKey gives you confidence that hackers can't get to your bitcoins.
- Multi-Currency Support: KeepKey not only supports Bitcoin, but also Ethereum, Litecoin, Namecoin, Dogecoin, Dash, and Testnet.
- Works on PC, Mac, Linux, and Android: KeepKey is a USB HID-class device. That means, like a typical mouse or keyboard, drivers are not required. Plug in the provided premium USB cable, and your device just works: immediately giving you the highest level of bitcoin security.

Product Description
KeepKey is a USB device that stores and secures your bitcoins. When you entrust KeepKey with your money, each and every bitcoin transaction you make must be reviewed and approved via its OLED display and confirmation button. It now becomes nearly impossible for virtual attackers like malware or viruses to steal your valuable bitcoins. How it Works KeepKey works with the bitcoin wallet software on your computer by taking over the management of private key generation, private key storage, and transaction signing. Initialization and Backup KeepKey generates your Bitcoin private key using its hardware-based random number generator, combined with randomness provided by your computer. Once your private key is generated, you are given the one-time opportunity to write down a backup of your KeepKey in the form of a twelve-word recovery sentence. Secure Storage Your private key is stored securely on your KeepKey, never leaving the device. Your KeepKey is PIN-protected, which renders it useless even if it falls into the wrong hands. Transacting KeepKey's large display gives clarity to every bitcoin leaving the device. Each transaction must be manually approved using KeepKey's confirmation button. Recover If your KeepKey is lost or stolen, you can safely recover your device without compromising its private keys. What’s in the Box: KeepKey Bitcoin Hardware Wallet, Woven Nylon USB Cable, Recovery Sentence Backup Card, Genuine Leather Backup Card Sleeve, and Quick Start Guide

Cons: Current KeepKey extension only supports 'Bitcoin' although other currencies are expected to be added within the next few weeks according to a support desk response. Which is more of an inconvenience that a con. Other currencies can be stored by locating different supporting wallet clients.
I held out for this over cheaper flimsier junk out on the market which reviews have shown to be a problem with constant use. This hardware wallet is built around a rock solid aluminum case with a single micro-usb port and a 1 button. The LED screen is bright and easy to read. The braided usb cable that comes with it is also of high quality. You get what you pay for, and I opted for the best. Installation is simple, plug in the cable, plug in the KeepKey and follow a few short steps. Remember to keep your password recovery sentence in a safe place NOT with your KeepKey device. Each time you use it, you'll be asked for your pin, only the method for keying it in (read this part as clicking spaces on a 9 spaced square) changes randomly every time you use it. Making it virtually impossible for malware or keyloggers to get this information. That's it, you plug it in when you want to send or receive coins, and put it away safely when you're done. Your bitcoin, litecoin, doge or other supported currencies are safe. Lose your device or oh; I don't know, run over it with a steam roller?, and you can use your recovery sentence to access your coins once a new device is ordered. Currently if you want to store anything besides bitcoin you need to find another wallet client like Electrum or Multibit-HD that support the KeepKey device. I have a friend with a more flimsy usb stick hardware wallet who after only a few weeks is having issues with the device showing signs of wear and impending damage. Did I mention this thing is built like a tank? It can handle multiple wallets as well as multiple currencies, it's the device for people serious about crypto-currencies and keeping them secure. Nothing is stored on your computer so that once you unplug it, there's nothing left behind where someone snooping through histories or files will find anything. While the price may seem steep to some, it's a better overall value than anything like it on the market currently. I had high expectations for this when I ordered it, and I was NOT disappointed. If you're serious about securing your own bitcoin, quit playing games with that other crap and get the real deal.
PROS: Great display and easy to use with the Chrome browser wallet apps that need to be installed.
Very simple setup with the online instructions and videos.
Sturdy case
CONS: No built in USB plug you have to use a cord
Apparently not compatible with USB 3.0, only worked with my 2.0 connections.
Tried to use with Electrum wallet since it states they are compatible. However using with Electrum wallet requires the installation of a lot of software and compiling from various sources. Not very user friendly and this should be mentioned in the description.
KeepKey's Wallet only compatible with Chrome browser at the moment.
I didn't feel like installing all the additional software so ended up using their wallet with Chrome. Will update to 5 stars if its made more user friendly for other wallets.
I want to emphasize that it does work excellent with their own simple wallet in Chrome, I don't regret buying it and do recommend it. I feel more secure already not having the private keys in the PC.
EDIT: Based on the prompt and detailed response from the manufacturer in the comments I have switched the review to 5 stars. I'm happy with the MultibitHD wallet as I had already installed it and it detected the KeepKey without any additional software. Note the instructions in the comments for Electrum wallet are for the 32 bit version of python. I had already installed 64 bit version so I didn't make an attempt at re-trying that installation since the other wallet software is working ok for me. Note that MultibitHD does charge a very small per-transaction fee, so Electrum might be worth a try if you want to avoid a fee. I assume most of these wallets will eventually charge something since they do have to make a living so I don't mind paying the tiny fee.
