Bitcoin is perhaps the most valuable thing in the world when it is compared to its physical size (which is zero). At a time when the alpha cryptocurrency is trading at about $15,000 per coin with other currencies appreciating in similar fashion (in the thousands of percents within 2017 alone), the importance of having an airtight security around your crypto assets is paramount, now more than ever. And among the best known options you have is the Keep Key hardware wallet.



What is the Keep Key Hardware Wallet?


This is a rectangular-shaped portable hardware device that is designed specifically for the storage of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and a few other altcoins. Keep Key is a dedicated hardware that is tailored for the use of people with considerable cryptocurrency holdings who want to keep them safe from the reach of online hackers whose sophistication is getting ever more dangerous for cryptocurrency investors worldwide. Keep Key is designed to give the user vault-like features but also enable them have easy access to their crypto holdings whenever they need to. Keep Key is hacker-proof and can be used to send cryptocurrencies even on a computer that is known to harbor malware without any fear.



Design


The Keep Key hardware wallet has a visually pleasing, high aesthetic finish that looks futuristic. Its body is made of anodized aluminum casing with a polycarbonate front that makes it look like a sophisticated device from your favorite sci-fi movie. The body’s dimension measures 93.5mm x 38.0mm x 12.2 mm which makes it a bit larger than its rival the Trezor, but has a more compact and durable feel to it. On unboxing you will find apart from the wallet itself a beautifully designed Micro USB cable with which the device communicates with the outside world, a nice card on which you can record your recovery phrase, a sleek leather bag for the card and its user manual. It has a ARM Cortex M3 Processor with a large OLED display that covers its front.



Usability


The Keep Key was built specifically for users who want to have the best possible security but also a quick access whenever they need make a quick transfer from their crypto vaults. Setting up your Keep Key is not a long process as you just need the device’s chrome plug-ins to set up your 4 digit PIN as well as your recovery phrase with which you can get back your wallet content whenever you lose or misplace the physical device. It also supports not just Bitcoin but also Ethereum, Name Coin, Doge Coin, and Litecoin with more coming soon.



Downside

The Keep Key wallet is indeed a top notch highly secure and malware proof device that all but guarantees the safety of your Bitcoin and other altcoins, but its major downside is that it is not the smallest device that will fit into your pocket and its is not mobile device friendly, which means that whenever you need to use it, you have to actually have your desktop or laptop with you.




Conclusion


The Keep Key wallet in its concept was not designed for the mobile user, but rather for those with large cryptocurrency holdings that want to have the same feel of security that one gets when their money is safely inside a bank’s vault. It is worth its $99 price tag which is a great step down from its initial over $200 price tag.
