Keepkey, last time I checked sucks compared to Ledger or Trezor. I haven't kept up with the market since I got my hardware wallets last year, but Ledger and Trezor are the only options I would consider. In fact, I bought both. Here's my opinion of both:
Trezor is better in terms of ease of use and not giving you any problems. I've never had any issues. It's drawback is lack of support for a lot of coins.
Ledger Nano S is really good and easy to use just like Trezor, but I've had issues with the Ledger that would make me think twice before buying it again over Trezor. First issue, I couldn't access my cryptos after the update to Ledger Live. I turned out to be a bad USB cable if I remember correctly. So, a heads up out there, Ledger is known for packaging cheap ass cables with their products. The other issue I have with Ledger is how quickly it fills up. Right now, I have BTC, ETH, XLM, XRP, and that's it. I tried to add DOGE wallet and it said to remove a current one. That's redic. So I put my DOGE on my Trezor and like always, it was reliable.
I'd say Trezor and Ledger are about even in my book. If you buy either make sure you stay off amazon unless you're sure you're buying it from the company. Otherwise just go to the website and buy it directly.
Crypto Wallets is an area where there's a huge gap in the market. I expect there to be a lot of competition coming to this niche market pretty soon. When it does come, I hope somebody will offer a better screen to work with. Bigger, colors, etc. Until then, keep it safe gents!

All the hardware wallets I own are first generation. I own a Trezor One, Ledger Nano S, and KeepKey. I sleep best at night with my crypto on my Trezor because they have great developers behind their product, they are frequently updating their firmware for any vulnerabilities, and they support most hard forks. I would not recommend a Ledger Nano S as I have encountered many problems with the Ledger Live desktop software and also application storage space on the device. If I had to recommend a hardware wallet to a friend or family member, it would...
Overall I have no complaints, maybe that's just my use case though. Buy, store, lock the device away
How does the Trezor fair lately with currency support? The ledger supported more at the time I bought which is what won me over.

I am very glad to participate in this discussion about whats the favorite hardware wallets of people. In any doubt, this is very common questions in this industry, lots of people are asking about which is the best/trusted/favorite hardware wallet? So as a tech adviser I always suggest people check https://cryptolinks.com/ for getting top listed and trusted hardware platforms. This is one of the best resourceful website in this crypto industry.
I have a little update since I first posted this thread guys. The Ledger Nano S that I have made me a bit angry over the weekend because it seems to have lost my Litecoin balance.
I did not access my ledger for quite a while but I booted it up last weekend and saw that there were several firmware updates etc. Before I could do that I had to delete all the wallet apps and then reinstall them after the firmware updates were complete. During the process, my ledger crashed.
No big deal though, I restored it from my seed phrase and continued on my way.
Then when all was said and done I realized that my LTC balance was zero.
BTC, ETH and XRP balances were all fine but something must have happened to my LTC wallet. Luckily I only had 1 LTC in there so it could be worse.
