Here are a few ideas:
Price range - this would allow users to filter wallets based on their budget.
Security features - this would allow users to filter wallets based on specific security features, such as secure element, biometric recognition, etc.
Display size - some people prefer larger screens for readability, while others prefer smaller screens for portability.
Another potential filter option could be based on the connectivity of the wallet, such as Bluetooth or USB.
etc

Thanks for the feedback !!!

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I plan to add some preloaded filters like BTC-only wallets.
Not sure if all the wallets can be visible at the same time. But I could try changing the column width so we can see more wallets at the same time.

Great work! That's quite an impressive project you've undertaken and it's great to see that you're continuing to improve and expand on your comparison tool, especially with the additional features you plan to include.

It's a good point that fitting all the wallets on one page might not be possible, especially with the total number of wallets. However, I do agree that adding more filter options would be a great way to make the website even more user-friendly.

BREAKING NEWS
I deprecated the Google Spreadsheet and launched a new website comparing 32 Hardware Wallets:
Great move Wink

Few suggestions:
- A modular design to allow us to remove unwanted rows [browser-side].
- Highlight the row and the column that our mouse pointer is currently hovering at [useful when multiple hardware wallets are selected].
- A dark mode.

But for the Mobile display, it seems that it is not fully compatible and needs a little improvement so that the mobile-specific display is more precise and suitable for mobile users.
Until a better version comes, you might want to enable the "desktop site" mode on your mobile browser [it improves it a little bit].

I am a bit limited on mobile, it's not easy to display more than two wallets at the same time. Do you have any particular issue on your mobile device?

The only problem is that the display scale on smartphones is not precise and of course, CSS is still not supported for mobile display.
If you use WordPress maybe it will be easier to provide some slider templates that can be optimized according to the template for Desktop and mobile.

I also do not understand CSS, only know some basic knowledge, and have not managed a website for a long time.
But the Desktop display is good enough and responsive.

I deprecated the Google Spreadsheet and launched a new website comparing 32 Hardware Wallets:

https://wallets.thebitcoinhole.com/

The site offers some advantages compared with the spreadsheet:
- Improved usability and look & feel
- Possibility to filter wallets so you can only see and compare the ones you are interested
- Added more contextual information about each compared feature
- Fixed some data errors.
- It is open source, so everyone can suggest changes or fix errors: https://github.com/thebitcoinhole/hardware-wallets


I plan to continue adding more features and wallets to compare.

 

Wow... Website is clean and well designed. Good job.
But its still missing Satochip hardware wallet (https://satochip.io), wen sir ?
Do you have a github page or something like that to allow contributions ?

And I have the same request for the seed storage solution part : https://thebitcoinhole.com/seed-backup/ Cheesy

Have a great day.

Thanks for the feedback. I am creating issues on Github issues for all the pending tasks.

Great update.
From Google Sheets and finally migrated to a website that is quite responsive for desktop display.

But for the Mobile display, it seems that it is not fully compatible and needs a little improvement so that the mobile-specific display is more precise and suitable for mobile users.



And maybe some suggestions like a Search Button are needed when like me, a Safepal or Ledger user wants to see my wallet hardware information without having to navigate too far to the right.

Overall, this is a great update and makes it easier to find all types of Hardware wallets.

Bookmarked!
Very good update and I like left and right navigation arrows you added on this website.
I know we all have zoom features on out browsers, but maybe you could add custom zoom out button mode so we can see all wallets in one page.
There is Filter tab greyed out so maybe you could add more options for that later, based on wallet features and characteristics.

I know ledger Stax is using E-Ink screen and I like that idea, but I don't know how durable that exact screen is, and like you said it doesn't make much sense to use this for their ''NFT'' purpose.
It may not be much different from the durability of E-Ink Screens in general. There is no clear information about how well the screen durability is and have not found any durability test for this Ledger Stax Wallet. The curved screen looks riskier when dropped or crushed if using an Amoled Screen like a Smartphone, but the choice of using an E-Ink screen may be because the screen is more flexible and easier to bend in parts.

JerryRigEverything is great and I enjoy watching his testing torture videos, but Kindle Scribe is not the same as ledger device/screen.
I guess someone should send Jerry one of this ledger devices so we can have clear picture about durability Cheesy
The purpose of NFT display media is proud of the Ledge Stax, but the color display is only 16 scales of Gray, not color. Quite disappointed that it doesn't use a color screen.

It seems that developers should send it to JerryRig for testing, $300 is quite expensive for this type of Ledger wallet, but yes innovation is still paid handsomely.

E-Ink® type screen is a screen used to replicate the experience of reading and writing on paper.
This display is usually gray but it can be colored as well (but there is no color display in Ledger Stax) and Ledger Stax is intended for special NFT hardware wallets.

Added for almost every wallet:
* materials
* custom node, tesnet & coin control support
Great work!
I didn't know new ledger Sux Stax is made from aluminum and plastic, it looks nice but I don't think that is durable at all, I am mostly concerned about their screen.

Maybe you mean Ledger Stax and the materials used are indeed Aluminum and plastic with embedded magnets for stackability so you can stack one or two wallets.
Then about the screen, Ledger Stax uses an E-Ink® type screen.

For the durability test on the Ledger Stax screen which uses E-Ink® Type Screen, you can see the Video Durability Test E-ink Displays made by JerryRigEverything.
In the video, test scratches only up to number 3 assuming the screen only uses plastic, not glass.

Full Video Durability Test:

In addition, is there anyone here who also uses the Safepal S1 Hardware Wallet? It seems that only I am still using it and some problems are starting to arise from the durability of the battery used. and for information, the material used by Safepal is Full Plastic and the front uses clear plastic as an anti-scratch for the front body as well as for the screen.

Keystone sounds good with fiberglass, but hammer can destroy it very easy, I will post proof about it in my HW durability topic.
 
One thing you can update, I am sure Jade wallet is made from plastic (don't know what exact type), because I have similar device from same factory that produced Jade wallets.

Still waiting a response from Coinkite team. I will post here when I have it.

@maxirosson
Is there a confirmation from Coinkite that Tapsigner isn't waterproof [I had no luck in finding it]? I was under the impression that almost all of these smart cards are either waterproof or at least water-resistant to a certain degree...

That’s true for most wallets but it’s kind of a design flaw from the manufacturer, since it is an important security feature to be able to destroy the device easily.
You have a point, but when it comes to a 5$ wrenching attack, the attacker could still hit you until you give them the seed phrases [in other words, destroying our devices would only cause a delay against this type of attack].

Not only because you need it in case of an attack but also if you want to throw away your device after it is old.
Personally, I'd still keep it in someplace safe [after wiping/resetting it] even if it becomes obsolete, but I've seen a microwave oven and a hammer would do a wonderful job of destroying these kinds of devices.

In my coldcard the secure storage devices are clearly labelled and easy to destroy for example.
Are you implying that there's an easy way to trigger its self-destruct mechanism and that actually bricks the device instantly, as opposed to wiping it [I've noticed most wallets tend to only wipe it] or you were referring to something else?
- Based on the two coldcard models that are in the above table, they don't seem to have the former.

This is because in general the wallet should still be easy to destroy in case of a 5$ wrenching attack  Wink
Physical destruction of HWs in "most cases" isn't going to give you enough protection against such attacks [unfortunately]... A decoy wallet would probably provide better protection, but this feature doesn't exist in some of the HWs.
