Pros: Sturdy aluminum case, braided usb cable, simple 1 button design and top notch security, no software installation, complete plug and play (no drivers needed), and built in support for more than just 'Bitcoin', excellent customer support.
Cons: Current KeepKey extension only supports 'Bitcoin' although other currencies are expected to be added within the next few weeks according to a support desk response. Which is more of an inconvenience that a con. Other currencies can be stored by locating different supporting wallet clients.
I held out for this over cheaper flimsier junk out on the market which reviews have shown to be a problem with constant use. This hardware wallet is built around a rock solid aluminum case with a single micro-usb port and a 1 button. The LED screen is bright and easy to read. The braided usb cable that comes with it is also of high quality. You get what you pay for, and I opted for the best. Installation is simple, plug in the cable, plug in the KeepKey and follow a few short steps. Remember to keep your password recovery sentence in a safe place NOT with your KeepKey device. Each time you use it, you'll be asked for your pin, only the method for keying it in (read this part as clicking spaces on a 9 spaced square) changes randomly every time you use it. Making it virtually impossible for malware or keyloggers to get this information. That's it, you plug it in when you want to send or receive coins, and put it away safely when you're done. Your bitcoin, litecoin, doge or other supported currencies are safe. Lose your device or oh; I don't know, run over it with a steam roller?, and you can use your recovery sentence to access your coins once a new device is ordered. Currently if you want to store anything besides bitcoin you need to find another wallet client like Electrum or Multibit-HD that support the KeepKey device. I have a friend with a more flimsy usb stick hardware wallet who after only a few weeks is having issues with the device showing signs of wear and impending damage. Did I mention this thing is built like a tank? It can handle multiple wallets as well as multiple currencies, it's the device for people serious about crypto-currencies and keeping them secure. Nothing is stored on your computer so that once you unplug it, there's nothing left behind where someone snooping through histories or files will find anything. While the price may seem steep to some, it's a better overall value than anything like it on the market currently. I had high expectations for this when I ordered it, and I was NOT disappointed. If you're serious about securing your own bitcoin, quit playing games with that other crap and get the real deal.

Buy two Trezors and be set for life. Buy this if you want to panic and waste time.
The device came sealed in plastic and with a security seal. At first it looked a little fishy to me as it didn't appear the same as an unboxing video on YouTube, but after further research I noticed it is the same type of box on other videos. The directions for using it was easy and the website guides you through the setup. My KeepKey required a firmware update, which was quick to install. I have yet to load any cryptocurrencies on it yet but I plan to soon. I emailed support in regards to buying this from a third party seller "Dragon Plus Commerce", which isn't listed as an official supplier, and have questions about any possible vulnerabilities. I reset/formatted my KeepKey and generated a new set of words. I highly suggest everyone does this with their "brand new" KeepKey regardless. I think all the people who are giving bad reviews are probably doing so because they have poor security practices when it comes to handling their cryptocurrency. Remember, if someone gets hold of your set of words then your money is good as gone. You have been warned! I will give this 5 stars when I verify all is secure and good to go!Update April 27, 2018. I have sent and received Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin with this KeepKey. It works easily and is a great way to keep your private key private versus vulnerable online with a website. Five stars.Update May 5, 2018. I want to love this device I do, but when the device/chrome extension have issues which cause a perpetual "loading accounts" screen then it's time to ditch it. More importantly is the lack of support and to that I mean software updates and proactive effort. KeepKey seems to be more in a reaction position than anything else. I had difficulty moving funds as well due to legacy issues with Litecoin as well as hangups with Ethereum. Compare this to Trezor, where the legacy litecoin address was not only identified by information was given on how to fix the problem. And the great intergration with MyEtherWallet and Trezor. Thank goodness that cryptocurrency in general is very secure and the design of it allowed me to put my KeepKey seed words in my Trezor and move the finds from there. It is no surprise that you can now get a KeepKey for $40 where now Trezors are going up to $99 and up. I have confidence in Trezor and so much so I bought another one. Keep in mind these hardware wallets simply take your seed words and use them to generate your private keys, they never have "secret/backdoor" access to the company of KeepKey, Trezor or Ledger. You can also do this via paper wallets but less secure for obvious reasons.
