- Connectivity: USB Keyboard Emulation (KBE)
- Payment: Triple-track MSR (encrypted)
- Security: MagneSafe encryption
- Form Factor: Desktop swipe reader
- Swipe: Bi-directional
The MagTek DynaMag KBE Bundle delivers encrypted magnetic stripe reading with keyboard emulation output, enabling integration with virtually any software capable of receiving keyboard input. This USB swipe reader transforms card swipe data into encrypted keystroke sequences for universal POS compatibility.
Keyboard emulation (KBE) output mode distinguishes the DynaMag KBE from standard HID readers. Card data transmits as simulated keystrokes, appearing to applications exactly as if typed on a keyboard. This integration method works with any software accepting keyboard input, requiring no specialized drivers, APIs, or code modifications.
The triple-track magnetic stripe reader captures data from all tracks simultaneously, supporting all magnetic stripe card types. Bi-directional swipe capability accepts cards swiped in either direction for operator convenience. The USB connection provides reliable communication while drawing power from the host system.
MagneSafe encryption protects cardholder data from the instant of swipe. Encrypted data transmits through the keyboard emulation interface, ensuring sensitive card information never exists in unencrypted form within merchant systems. This security approach dramatically simplifies PCI DSS compliance.
The desktop form factor enables optimal positioning for card swipe operations. The stable base prevents movement during use while the compact footprint conserves counter space. Durable construction supports reliable operation in demanding retail environments.
For merchants requiring encrypted MSR capability with maximum software compatibility through keyboard emulation, the MagTek DynaMag KBE provides proven performance with enterprise-grade security.
**Important Note:** This device is a magnetic stripe-only (MSR) reader and does NOT support EMV chip or NFC contactless payments. For full payment acceptance capability including chip and contactless, consider EMV-enabled alternatives.
