Pros and cons, side by side

Ledger Stax

What works

  • The 3.7 inch curved E Ink touchscreen is the largest display Ledger sells, so addresses read in one view
  • Same ST33K1M5 secure element, certified to CC EAL6+, as every other current Ledger
  • USB-C, Bluetooth and NFC, plus wireless Qi charging that no other Ledger has
  • Ships with a Ledger Recovery Key and a protective magnet shell included in the box

What to watch

  • At $399 it costs nearly seven times the $59 Nano S Plus for the same certified secure element
  • The $249 Flex has the same chip and more screen pixels, at 480 x 600 against 400 x 670
  • Closed source firmware, unlike Trezor and BitBox

OneKey

What works

  • Four signing models from $79 to $278, including a bitcoin-only Classic 1S Pure
  • Companion app on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, Linux and as a browser extension
  • Firmware and apps are developed in public on GitHub
  • Faulty devices are replaced rather than repaired, so no repair shop handles your hardware

What to watch

  • Not bitcoin-only outside the Classic 1S Pure bitcoin edition
  • Specifications vary widely across the range, so the brand name alone tells you little about the device you are buying
  • Researchers opened a OneKey Mini in 2023 with physical access and lab hardware, which OneKey patched but which is part of the brand's record
  • No published shipping country policy: the help center article that should carry one returns a 404
  • A shorter public track record than Ledger, Trezor or Coinkite
