Sorry your SoloKey V2 experience isn't going so well. I have a V1 and it's been surprisingly robust over the past 3 years. For NFC, I can only get it working with my Pixel 7 phone of I remove the thick OtterBox case. Perhaps your issue is also related to your case thickness? Having to remove the case is a hassle, so I am sticking with multipurpose USB-A to USB-C adapters for now.
I've been using YubiKeys for like 10 years, but the 5C model I recently got suddenly stopped working out of nowhere. It only lasted me from October to November of this year. I've been wondering if the brand has had a quality drop-off.
Of the security keys in my possession, the Thetis U2F key has lasted the longest (~5 years) and has had no problems whatsoever. They've since released updated FIDO keys, and so I purchased 2.
Hey!
For the NFC thing, I tried with and without a case and seems the issue remains the same (maybe just a hardware failure).
I must say I had more chances with NFC on my USB-C key thought it's still a bit jittery.
On the other hand, the Yubikey's NFC works perfectly, even with the case.
Also I didn't knew about Thetis, I'm gonna look into those.
