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

  1. Works 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.

Note

Any PC/SC v2.01 reader with given tag technology support should work, assuming the presence of PC/SC driver.
