Use this for work to assist customers writing magnetic stripe to plastic cards. Being able to have proof to show customers what they are actually writing to stripe saves a lot of finger pointing. Plug reader into laptop, open Notepad and swipe card. Any data on stripe is displayed by Notepad.

Works great lightweight. Easy to transport does not come with software tho (edit not sure where cards scanned are going to a few cards that were scanned by this msr has be compromised and skimmed)

I plugged it into my laptop, swiped a card, and it read it fast and easy - I didn't have to install any drivers, because it speaks the USB HID protocol, i.e. it emulates a USB keyboard. It came with a QR code that contained a URL that let me download a configuration utility and some documentation - but frankly I didn't need any of that, it just worked out of the box. The brass threaded inserts on the bottom, so I can screw it down instead of gluing/taping it down, are a very nice touch.

I need the Software for msr 605x

simple plug and play into a laptop via USB, I was able to swipe magnetic cards right into Excel

Bought this item for my job and works like a charm!
