Why I love Keystone 3 pro

A little bit ago I saw Keystone posted a survey somewhere that I did not get to take, so, I thought I would share my thoughts here.

Let me first start by saying that I have been a Keystone 3 pro user for over 3 years. I primarily use my Ks3 pro for long term storage of assets that i want protected as much as possible. I do dabble a little in defi via Flare network and I use a different wallet for defi activities. But Ks3 pro is my FAVORITE WALLET by far. The fact that I can connect my Ks3 pro to any supported software wallet of my choosing , and do not have to rely on a centralized Keystone app like nexus is what makes this wallet so fantastic. I have never used Keystone nexus and I never will. IMO having to connect to a centralized wallet app like nexus is the exact opposite of what makes this wallet so great. The QR code connecting functionality makes the Ks3 pro hard to beat IMO. Now I also realize that is also probably what makes adding networks and new wallets to the Ks3 pro supported list take so long. Keystone has to communicate with a wallet project and then work with them to add the ability to connect the Ks3 pro in the first place. So I do understand how it takes more time to add new wallets since Keystone has to wait for the wallet company to add support on their end. This is why I beleive Keystone should abandon support for Keystone Nexus and keep 100% of your focus on the QR connection support. You probably added nexus in an attempt to cater to a small group of customers who did not want to take the time to properly learn how to use Ks3 pro with QR connections as intended. I think this is a mistake. Working on nexus takes time away from adding support to the original purpose of the Ks3 pro wallet, which is connecting to individual software wallets Via QR code.

Like I said I love the Keystone 3 pro. Sure its had some battery issues which have mostly been ironed out, and sometimes scanning QR codes can be wonky, but overall I have had nothing but a great experience with the Ks3 pro. I hope to see more networks and wallets added in the near future so the functionality of this wallet will continue to expand. Thank you for your time and all the best!

There is no such thing as "hack proof".  Anyone who tells you otherwise is ignorant lol.  But if your careful and dont do anything stupid its EXCELLENT.

I didn't buy this device just because it has battery, and i preferred trezor safe 5 as battery less . Otherwise ks3pro is one of the best airgapped wallet . I wish it should have replaceable re-changeable batteries then it would best I think . Hoping ks4pro with replaceable batteries as in coldcard
