There's Tomo.im (Somu) for that


Is there a typo in this? I've done some searching and not found anything. tomo.im resolves to GitHub Pages but isn't linked to a site.


GP probably means https://tomu.im/ and pointing to Somu https://tomu.im/somu.html


Thanks (to both of you who pointed this out), I am completely unfamiliar with Tomu so missed this typo.

Yeah the Somu looks like it would be better, but my current laptop only has USB-C and it doesn't look like there's a similarly flat implementation for USB-C. It's also still an important and fragile part sticking out from the laptop body so I think one embedded in an expansion card would still be good!

Also I've got a Yubikey very similar to the Somu, so I don't think this is a Tomu/Somu exclusive concept. The benefit of Yubikey specifically is that they're approved for certain types of specialist access – at work I am required to use a specific implementation, not just any U2F/FIDO key.


I believe this is what they are referring to: https://www.crowdsupply.com/solokeys/somu


Yes, sorry, autocorrect :(
