 Hey BitKey early adopters can you help please?

Thinking of getting a Bitkey hardware wallet but…

is Bitkey’s lack of a screen something to be concerned about? What are the trade offs? 

Could this be a weak spot opening me up to hackers?

 Well, whatever would normally be displayed on the device screen is going to be displayed on a different device. I'm not sure how you'd generate your seed phrase without whatever is on the other device potentially recording the screen somehow. Fingers crossed or try your best to workaround? It's just added complexity that I would personally avoid. 
 Interesting thank you 🙏🏼 

On my Trezor I double check the address I am sending to matches on my computer screen and on the little screen on the Trezor it’s self. Does that not have a benefit? I thought that was best practice but is that no worth doing? 
 I won't touch anything that can't work entirely on it's own with just a power bank. That's my personal way.

I'm moving to a SeedSigner, if you want an example of what I mean.
