My company evaluated both Yubikey and Nitrokey and decided to use Yubikey. While they are both in the same price range, Yubikeys are more durable, whereas the Nitrokey plastic cover began to show cracks. Because our employees wear them on their keychains, that would be a problem, while the Yubikeys were fine.

Also, the cheap Nitrokey FIDO2 key doesn't support ED25519 for SSH keys, only RSA and ECDSA, and even though they are open source, the promised support for ED25519 is still not delivered even after 4 years, so I doubt it will ever come: https://github.com/Nitrokey/nitrokey-fido2-firmware/issues/3...

Ultimately, while I like the idea of open-source, for a company use case, we had to go with Yubikey.
