Are you proud of me?
Lol, no but I thank you for sharing your experience with one of the more popular replacements for Ledger devices.  It might not be the best option, as dkbit98 said, but I've been reading threads on the Ledger subreddit and there are a lot of people discussing what they've replaced their Ledgers with (and that's funny given that that subreddit ought to be pro-Ledger).  Good luck with it.  I've never used one of the QR code reader HW wallets, but I was thinking about getting a Keystone and might have to learn.

You said you saved the signed transaction onto an SD card and you later put that SD card inside a online computer to broadcast. So that’s not air gapped.
I thought the SD card was only used for firmware updates, not for sending coins or signing messages.  It could be I'm thinking of a similar wallet, but I've never heard of a HW wallet that works that way.  That would be an enormous pain in the ass.
