KeepKey is one of the most popular, if not the most popular Bitcoin hardware wallet out there. It is designed with advanced security against any virtual or physical theft. One of the unique selling points is the low price which means more users can give it a try.
Launched in 2015, this wallet is based on a technology that provides users a secure environment for keeping their cryptocurrencies. The wallet is designed as a mini-computer for storing private keys.
This is a secure Bitcoin hardware wallet that has an advanced technology providing the users with one of the most secure platforms for storing cryptocurrencies. Launched back in 2015, the wallet became extremely popular among users because of its security features.
The wallet is perfect if you choose to use multiple cryptocurrencies or to build a portfolio of digital assets because it enables the storage and transaction of multiple cryptocurrencies including Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin, Dash, and Dogecoin.
In order to purchase it, you can go to Amazon or contact the company directly. KeepKey is has a slightly more expensive price tag but that comes because of the metal design, digital screen and high level of security.
Setting up the wallet is very simple and it only takes up a couple of minutes. It’s simple to navigate from the URL provided in the user manual. Users will also have to install a Chrome extension in order to interact with the main functions of the wallet by connecting the device to your computer. This will allow the users to physically verify any further confirmations through the Glossy OLED Display with an instant button click. The interface is very simple and there are clear instructions on how to perform the basic actions such as adding multiple accounts and sending and receiving funds.
KeepKey provides a high level of security and is considered one of the most secure wallets on the market. It offers to protect against both virtual and physical theft and can be used on any computer.

After six months using I can only say that KK is a great wallet and has great support behind. I only miss more supported coins like ETC, Zcash and XRP.
The only caveat is that you have to use chrome or chromium to download the keepkey client if you use Linux.
But once that done it works wonderful. As an example it was easy to get my BCH from my BTC inside the wallet seamless. I was a little bit worried initially but after contacting support they informed me of the forthcoming software update to get the BCH. I expect next forked coins to follow suit. Not B2X any longer.
Price has increased a lot since I bought mine and availability has also decreased since, they said, there were some problems with suppliers.
I agree with Coin Tasker that the exchange of coins inside de KK through Shapeshift has to be handled with caution. The transaction may take time and balance may go up and down while transaction is pending, just as it happened with BCH. Eventually it fixes ok.

I bought a new Keepkey wallet in the latter part of 2017 and it worked satisfactorily till the end of January 2018.
I kept more than 2 BTC in it and transferred back to my online wallet without problem leaving a small amount of BTC.
I also kept 4 ETH in my Keepkey and at the end of January I sent additional 10 ETH to it, but it failed to record it in my account balance.
I contacted the Helpdesk and they gave me instructions to rectify it. In the process my Keepkey was not even showing my already received 4 ETH or the residual 0.067 BTC.
A contacted them a few dozen times without getting my money back.
So I bought another new Keepkey and hoped to recover the funds using the recovery words I had from the first one. It failed too! I contacted the help desk several times without any positive result.
By this time more than 6 months have passed and the ETH value dropped more than 50%. I could not access my 14 ETH worth about $20000 to sell it in time to realize my profit.
SInce Keepkey device and the help desk would not recover my funds, as a last resort I used my original recovery words in a third party wallet and to my surprise it recovered all my money – a consolation but when I sold I lost my profit, but at least I got my capital back.
I would not advice anybody to keep a significant amount in these hardware wallets.
Hardware wallets in my opinion have the risks of: hardware malfunction, firmware dysfunction, app failure or unsatisfactory interactions among them. In summary
I would not trust my money again with any hardware wallet – after all they are man-made and unreliable.

I found a little something odd about eth adress and in few hours I got a awser fron the dev team via the costumer service. With the erc20 patch, kk is a very useful and just miss one thing to complete the circle(xrp). This product is clever , well design, simple to use and with fantastic costumer service! I sent 2 or 3 email and I have always a fanstatic experience.

I had an auto response on my query immediately, and a support consultant emailed me minutes later, and was then in constant contact until I resolved the issue. After it was resolved, he was still in contact and interested to see if I could recreate it for the support team to investigate further.
I was very impressed, and this is quite different from my experience with contacting a different company who I bought a cheaper hard wallet from, who were very good, but lacked the capacity to respond so quickly and effectively.
cheers

Our experience was good. However, the requirements of communicating exclusively with Google Chrome is NOT well taken. Keepkey must maintain its independence as a product that is designed to deliver security and piece of mind. Dependency on highly suspicious applications like Google Chrome takes away from security and piece of mind that was intended.

I just received my KeepKey in the mail a few days after ordering it. That is no mean feat, given it was shipped to Australia. The KeepKey hardware has excellent build quality and the software is very easy to install and use. I was sceptical about trusting a hardware bitcoin wallet but the build quality and security design gives me great confidence to entrust it with my bitcoins. KeepKey have even incorporate secure, private key recovery in the event of loss, theft or hardware failure. Highly recommended!

Watched a few tutorials online and opened up the box. Had the entire thing set up in five minutes. All from my $150 Chrome laptop from Wallmart. I’ve transferred back and forth from my Coinbase wallet and it’s a piece of cake. Great job and cool design. Thanks

Great wallet once you get used to how to transfer currencies. This review is a little outdated in the price of the device and is lacking info about the ShapeShift integration. Large transactions from BTC to ETH are super cheap. I remember about a $3 USD transaction fee for moving about 0.5 BTC to ETH within the device in one case. Only downside is, I cannot make transactions on mobile device, you have to be in front of a computer if you are in the trade game. I guess that keeps me from making dumb knee-jerk trades (bright side).

After doing extensive research on which wallet I should use to store my bitcoins, in my view, KeepKey is the only product who ticks all the boxes. My KeepKey was delivered very quickly (only 3 days to my location in The Netherlands) and it came in a very stylish box with a braided and sturdy USB cable.
They’ve managed to pack every security feature that I could think of in a small and easy to use device. Their eye for detail is so much better than the competition.
The Keepkey itself is a sturdy, metal device that has a very sleek and elegant design. I like the stealthy look of it, you would easily think of it as an ordinary USB drive.
The interface is very easy to use, with only one button to verify transactions.
KeepKey communicates with a chrome plugin, which has some very simple but effective security measures in place. For instance, you can only enter your PIN by mouse on a scrambled numpad. This gives keyloggers no chance. Also, your private key will never be shown, only addresses rendered via your hidden private key.
Loading the KeepKey with malicious ROMs is impossible because the device is “bare metal”.
Transferring bitcoin is very easy, using the intuitive Chrome plugin.
Keepkey does only one thing and it does it well – storing bitcoin. Although the Keepkey device is said to support multiple cryptocurrency, the Chrome plugin only supports bitcoin as of now. I would love the KeepKey Chrome extension to support more cryptocurrencies such as ETH.
Conclusion:
————–
The KeepKey already sold me on the many user-friendly security features it has on storing bitcoin. If the Chrome plugin were to support more cryptocurrency in the near future, the KeepKey will be a no-brainer for any crytpo-enthusiast.

Having seen online experiences of hacking and bitcoins going missing I thought it was about time I got myself a more secure way to store my coins. After reading what was available I thought the the KeepKey was just the job.
I arrived quickly and was easy to setup, I especially like the extension for my chrome browser and the security features.
So far I can’t fault it and would suggest others who are not belt and braces with their security on computer systems to get one!

Slick product, swift delivery and good communication around shipping etc. UI is easy to use and understand, and has been flawless so far. Hardware is reasonable for the money, a little plastic-y, but given the price point is fair enough. Would like supporting standards to be clearer, but that information is available.

I started my experience with BitCoin from buying hardware wallet. Wanted to have place to safely store my bitcoins. Have never had experience with BitCoin and wallets before. KeepKey turned out to be intuitive and quite simple to use. It also gives me comfort of knowing that my bitcoins are secure.
I love it !

KeepKey is wonderful. Owning a Trezor and a Ledger, I’d say its a great combination of the two. It provides a clean and easy-to-use interface, as well as simple setup. More importantly, reading up on KeepKey’s security protocol has me feeling extremely safe, and I feel that is its most significant benefit. Being open-source, its code can be reviewed and subjected to testing. I’ve also had the pleasure to ask KeepKey’s customer service a few questions before purchasing. They answered my questions promptly and thoroughly, and when all is taken into account, I am very satisfied with my purchase!

After using paper wallets for a couple of years the Keepkey is a welcome upgrade, I would suggest making 2 paper backups of the 12 word seed then setup the keepkey wallet and send $1 of btc to it then follow the instructions to first wipe your Keepkey and then re-install the wallet back if everything is working correctly you should see the $1 btc balance. this is just extra peace of mind that your seed works and builds confidence in the process. just keep the paper seed backups in two separate extremely safe places.

Really bad. Doesn’t work out of the box on Linux. I even attempted just for kicks on windows didn’t work there either. I asked for my money back and they are giving me the run around. Asking me to repeat the troubleshooting steps that have been documented in the chat more than once. Telling me they can’t give my money back if they send it back to them.
