I’ve got a NExT V2 in my right hand and it’s been great so far. Now I’m looking to put something in my left hand that actually complements it instead of just duplicating what I already have.
For context: I work in CCTV and access control for a global high‑security outfit. My day is basically setting up servers, cleaning up whatever the installers managed to break, and dealing with every oddball credential format and reader quirk you can imagine. So, I get plenty of chances to test things in the wild.
With that in mind, I’m curious what other techs or multi‑implant folks have paired with their NExT V2.
I’m ready for a flex. I reached out to a partner to discuss procedure and pricing already.
Both are very interesting, that writable UID with the UG4 is pretty neat though. I can see some convenient uses for the apex. Although I think that might have to be the third implant I get.
I’ve a bunch of Honeywell RMPK40 and a couple SIGNO readers that I want to use. I haven’t been able to get them to read the NExTv2. I think it’s a range issue. The SIGNO are particularly a problem because it uses touch buttons. Hard to get the chip to be seen when your hand is hitting numbers. Seems like the UG4 would be perfect for them though. The RMPK40’s have a HID puck in the back of them and I think it just is too far away to work with the NExTv2.
I’m thinking UG4 in the right hand with the NExTv2 in p0 and then later doing the Apex in the left. Kinda keeps the theme of the right hand being for access control stuff.
I already use passkeys for client sites, so the Apex in the left is something to consider.
Is there a good, portable, USB reader you can recommend?
