So the TLDR is I meant to order the KBR1 RFID but I forgot to. I am in Canada and cant be bothered to pay import on something again… Is there an alternative that anyone knows of that I may be able to get? All I want it for is a windows 10 login…
Thanks!
I use a RFideas wave ID nano, it’s a little usb dongle that works just like a kbr1… has a * few more settings but mostly the same
It only costs like 6-8x as much tho… sorry 
If your interested I’ll post model number it took me to cracks to figure out
There are plenty of cheap options also, but it will depend on what implant you want to use with it and what form factor you want
Does it automatically input uid as a keyboard like the kbr1 or?
I have one Option that might be also available in other countries…
Just search for ELATEC TWN4 - that one is quite often used for installing at Lexmark/Kyocera Printers for RFID Authentication - then it hast the manufacturer Label on the frontpanel.

I am sure that it will be cheaply available also in canada (just search for >>elatec twn<<).
I know that there are different readers available that ONLY support 125kHz or ONLY 13,56MHz, but the TWN4 is a Multi-Reader that has both options.
I bought some in Germany for around 20 Euro - thats something around 28 Canadian Dollars.
That might be an Option…
After you bought one, you can download the Software from elatec to Program the Reader/Update Firmware to setup what he should read and how it will be presented to the USB-interface.
So you can Swipe your Badge and the Interpreter on the Reader will send the UID and a Keystroke or extra Buttons to the PC - thats really nice 
Holy hell, I’m seeing them listed for $150 in Canada. Seems like you got a steal… I’m a locksmith and one side of the company does access control so I may see if any of our suppliers carry it.
Thanks for the suggestion! It looks really neat!
Oh no - i didn´t have the time to search for them yesterday - $150 is WAY tooo much for that.
But maybe you will find one as bargain in the next moments - as i know they are often rebranded to Lexmark, Kyocera, Nuance and so on. Hopefully one seller would also include the OEM Manufacturers Model into the description, then you will make a catch!
Pressing thumbs !!!
I too tried getting my hands on the rf IDEAS WAVE ID Nano but unfortunately cannot find anywhere that has it “in stock”… turning to AliExpress, I found a small usb-c reader, cheap and small form factor with great signal;
Unfortunately, when reading my NExT ISO14443A UID, returns a gibberish number instead of the 7-byte hex. 
(I did check for equivalent conversions).
Thus, does anyone have more recent alternatives?
Did you look at the ones I suggested above?
what country are you in?
I seem to be able to find them… they are spendy tho
I don’t regret buying mine
Australia… oh so many product pages but none of which I can buy from. eBay is the most promising but I am trying to avoid the overpay.
Yes, I actually got one of the readers in the usb-a stick format which shocked me . I then tried testing with other cards (and a diagnostic) I had on hand but it seemed to have died.
I’m coming to the realisation I just experienced the worst luck and should try again from different sellers. Planning on disassembling the reader I mentioned previously on the weekend and seeing if I can probe it. For $20 in tiny usb-c format with a great reading distance, I’d really like to get it to work and just buy a bunch of them.
Which version of the nano were you looking for?
13.56? 125?
USB c or a
13.56 usb-c
I think then the RDR-75U1AKU is what your looking for
" Wave ID® Nano Keystroke 13.56MHz CSN Black Vertical USB-C Reader RDR-75U1AKU HID™ iCLASS™ CSN, NFC Type 3 CSN (Felica), MIFARE® Classic CSN, MIFARE® DESFire® EV1 CSN, MIFARE® Plus CSN, MIFARE® Ultralight CSN, ISO 14443A CSN, ISO 14443B CSN, ISO 15693 CSN, NFC Type 1 CSN (Topaz), CEPAS CAN Nano USB-C"|
looks like its available straight from the source if need be

Reader + Shipping = ~$389AUD… might be pushing the budget when I can just get more implants for less haha
ty tho, I somehow didn’t come across a page on their website that I could directly order from
woof… yea… I think I paid 150ish?
at that price it was worth a nice low profile reader for my on the go laptop…
389 is rough
…at least I found you a source 
Update re the cheap AliExpress readers, using some questionable software, you can change the desired output.
For these; 13.56mhz ISO14443A HF Tiny Size RFID OTG Android Phone USB Type-c Interface Portable Handheld IC Card Reader. The two units I’ve tested could not interpret 7-byte HEX correctly… every other variation has no issue.
For these; Adjustable Mini Portable TK4100 EM4100 RFID 125KHz S50\S70 14443A 13.56Mhz Proximity Smart EM Card USB ID Rfid Card Reader. The same software works, with no issues.
