Does this one still work?** A: It works flawlessly with Win7, 8, and 8.1. I am big fan of these, because they are recognized on every OS the moment you insert them, foldaway nicely, and can be attached to key rings. Really well designed and durable. **Q: Just to clarify, this can be used with a Mac desktop computer and for military IDs?** A: NO! It's for CAC Cards but stinks with Macs. This even has a hard time with some PC's. I'm sure if you know a lot of computer stuff you could get it goin on Mac but it's not a simple plug-n-play **Q: Does it come with the software in the USB or do I have to download something off the internet?** A: It does not come with software, but you can easily download software from your CAC provider or off the internet for FREE. Not $35 per the other answer. **Q: Is this made in China?** A: The units we sell are made in South Korea. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than the tried and true *by B***H on March 10, 2026* Easy purchase. Takes up barely any space compared to the normal corded options. Throw in a pocket or on a keychain. Hasn’t failed on me yet with almost a year of use. Great price for convenience of space and mobility. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ . *by M***L on April 4, 2026* Works as intended. Perfect for travel in computer case. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tiny, light, and works with windows built in drivers. *by Z***A on April 4, 2025* Perfect back-up CAC reader. I lost my previous one. It was so tiny, it slipped out somewhere so I grabbed another one. This is a great little reader. It does stick out of the side of the computer and occupies a lot of desk space so you have to be careful not to bump it. It folds down very tiny. Great to have for the laptops with no built-in card reader. I didn't have to instal drivers for it, windows recognized it immediately. It reads government issued CAC cards. ## Frequently Bought Together - Identiv SCR3500 Smartfold Smart Card Reader - Identiv SCR3310v2.0 USB Smart Card Reader - Identiv SCR3500C USB Smartfold Type C --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/9827554-identiv-scr3500-smartfold-smart-card-reader](https://www.desertcart.in/products/9827554-identiv-scr3500-smartfold-smart-card-reader) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
