Magnetic-stripe reader with USB keyboard output

The ID TECH MiniMag II IDMB-334112 reads Track 1 and Track 2 data through a USB connection that emulates a standard keyboard. No driver installation is required on most operating systems, so the device works immediately with point-of-sale software that accepts keyboard input. A three-colour LED and audible beeper confirm each successful swipe. The unit is rated for one million swipe cycles.

Suited for retail counters needing simple Track 1

This model fits environments where a compact, bi-directional reader connects to a single USB port and feeds keystrokes directly into an application. It is not intended for setups that require Track 3 reading, RS-232 or USB-HID interfaces, or a different case colour.

USB keyboard emulation interface

The reader communicates by sending card data as keystrokes over USB, so the host system treats it like a keyboard. This single interface choice determines whether the device integrates with your existing software without additional drivers or configuration.
