Has anyone here had success with USB fingerprint scanners? I also found this Microsoft keyboard with fingerprint reader but I don’t know if it works with linux.

    Here’s the list of devices supported by fprint

    For non -standalone readers, you’ll have to look up the actual fingerprint reader embedded within it.

    Edit: it looks like this is a Bluetooth keyboard. My guess is it’s highly unlikely to work with Linux as a fingerprint reader.

      It’s a shame that that the list doesn’t translate well into “what device can I go out and buy”? Every shitty manufacturer has to constantly churn design changes, and hide it all behind the exact same model number.
