Compact swipe readers for existing USB and serial applications

MagTek Mini Swipe readers capture magnetic stripe data for compatible desktop and POS applications. Keyboard-emulation models enter data like a keyboard; HID and RS232 models require suitable application software.

Two- and three-track configurations are available in black or white. SureSwipe dual-head variants also read a card with its magnetic stripe facing either side of the slot.
