USB-C fingerprint reader with pass-through

This compact biometric scanner connects via USB Type-C and includes a pass-through port so the laptop socket remains free for charging or peripherals. It supports Windows Hello on Windows 10 and 11, delivering password-less sign-in for individual users and small-business fleets. The aluminium body and supplied 3M adhesive let owners mount the reader on a laptop lid or desk for a permanent, tidy installation.

360° capacitive sensor reads in under one second

The 200 dpi sensor captures a fingerprint from any rotation, removing the need to align a finger precisely during repeated logins. Authentication typically completes in less than one second, keeping workflow interruptions minimal during long sessions. USB bus power eliminates an external adapter, so sustained use adds no extra cables or heat to the workstation.

Verify a spare USB-C port and Windows 10 or 11

Buyers must confirm their device offers an available USB-C connector that can supply both data and power to the reader. The driver stack is built into Windows 10 and 11, so no separate software install is required, but earlier operating systems are not supported. Users who rely on USB-A only or need macOS and Linux compatibility should look for a different form factor.

Questions about this item

Does the Generic WH08M-C TYPE-C Fingerprint Reader generate noticeable heat or draw much power when used continuously?

The reader is USB powered and has no internal fan, so it adds negligible heat and draws very little current during all-day use.

What must I already own for the Generic WH08M-C TYPE-C Fingerprint Reader to function?

A device with a USB-C port running Windows 10 or Windows 11 is required; the scanner uses Windows Hello drivers built into the OS.

Will the Generic WH08M-C TYPE-C Fingerprint Reader work alongside my older USB-A peripherals?

The unit includes a USB-C pass-through port that supports data synchronisation, letting you connect a flash drive or other legacy device through the reader.
