Conceptronic KAYNE01PT — USB Keyboard with Smart ID Card Reader, Portuguese, Black
Built-in card readerPC/SC 2.0EMV Level 1FIPS-201 requirements
The Conceptronic KAYNE01PT is a full office keyboard with a smart ID card reader built into it, which is the whole point: one device, one USB cable, and nothing for a user to unplug and lose. The reader handles ISO 7816 Class A, B and C cards (5 V, 3 V and 1.8 V), is USB-CCID and PC/SC 2.0 compliant, and is certified to EMV 4.0 Level 1 and PBOC 2.0 Level 1, with Microsoft WHQL smart card reader approval and compliance with the US FIPS-201 reader interoperability requirements. It also reads common memory cards such as the SLE44xx and AT88SC1608 families. Around the reader is a plain 105-key layout with a numeric pad and a spill-resistant design, 454 × 164 × 56 mm and 639 g, on a 1.5 m USB cable. Conceptronic positions it for Portuguese workstations, secure institutional access and online tax reporting. In the box: keyboard and a multilingual quick installation guide.
Compatibility — check before buying:
Layout: Portuguese QWERTY keeps the QWERTY letters but adds Ç next to L, uses dead keys for accents and moves most symbols and brackets away from where a US or UK keyboard has them. Choose it only if you type in Portuguese; for English use in Cyprus ask us for the US or UK version of the same model. The slot takes contact smart cards to ISO 7816 — the standard national ID, banking and corporate access card format. Conceptronic lists no contactless or NFC support, so a tap-only card will not work; if your cards are contactless, tell us and we will supply a separate contactless reader. It is wired USB-A, plug and play, with a 1.5 m cable — a USB-C-only laptop needs an adapter or a dock. There is no backlight and no palm rest. Conceptronic does not publish the key technology (membrane, scissor or otherwise), an operating-system list or a warranty term for this model on its product page. Operating range is 0 to 50 °C at 20–90% relative humidity.

Key Features
The reader is inside the keyboard
One device, one cable, one thing to support — instead of a separate reader that gets unplugged, swapped or lost between shifts.
Properly certified
USB-CCID and PC/SC 2.0, EMV 4.0 Level 1 and PBOC 2.0 Level 1 certified, Microsoft WHQL approved, and it meets the US FIPS-201 reader interoperability requirements.
A complete keyboard, not a compromise
105 keys with a full numeric pad and a spill-resistant body — the security feature does not cost you a working layout.
Reads memory cards too
Beyond ISO 7816 microprocessor cards it also handles I2C memory cards and the common SLE44xx, SLE55xx and AT88SC1608 chips.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it read my contactless card?
No. This is a contact reader for ISO 7816 cards. Send us a photo of your card and we will confirm before you order, or supply a contactless reader instead.
Do I need to install a driver?
It is USB-CCID and PC/SC 2.0 compliant, so modern operating systems recognise it as a standard smart card reader. Conceptronic does not publish an operating-system list or a driver package on its page.
What is it used for?
Conceptronic positions it for Portuguese workstations, secure institutional access and online tax reporting.
Which layouts exist?
Conceptronic publishes exactly three: KAYNE01ES (Spanish), KAYNE01PT (Portuguese) and KAYNE01IT (Italian). This one is Portuguese.
Singular Expert Insight
If your users authenticate with a national ID or banking card, this removes an entire category of support call — the missing reader. Confirm the card type with us first: contact cards work, tap-only cards do not. See our other
keyboards.
