Re: Foundation Devices 'Passport Batch 2' hardware wallet review

The buttons just have very little travel and thus no big, firm 'bump' that you 'press through'.
As someone who is currently using a keyboard with a short travel distance, I would've included it in the category of positive changes [it comes down to personal preference].
Do keep in mind that the travel distance of any such small devices' buttons is always way smaller than even what you find on low-keytravel laptop keyboards.I guess if that's really important to someone, they could check out one of the various Bitcoin conferences that Foundation Devices participate in, to try it in person before buying.
However, it appears to take slightly longer to scan QR codes; more details below.
but unfortunately the new firmware appears to detect QR codes slower than FE.
The "latest firmware" was supposed to improve QR code scanning, so are you implying that [apart from the better performance on FE] you didn't notice any improvement from the previous firmware [v2.0.3] or it became worse?Downgrading works; at least from 2.0.4 beta to 2.0.3 (release) worked without issues.
- Out of curiosity, is there an option to downgrade it (directly or through the Envoy app)?
Since you mention: 'directly or through the Envoy app' - the upgrade process is always the same, there is no or. Either you download the new firmware with a PC and copy it to the microSD card, or use the Envoy app for that, which does the exact same thing. After inserting the microSD into Passport, it finds the file, verifies it and upgrades to it.BTW, this is hands down one of the best HW reviews in this sub-board [I salute you].
Thanks.
