Yubikey biometric models mitigate sniffing the unlock PIN from the computer since it is fingerprint unlock.
Current yubikey biometric models are FIDO2 only, multi-protocol (FIDO2, PKCS#12, etc) biometric models are “coming soon”
Yup, agreed, they should be safe from sniffing.
Might have a problem with being compelled to use it, depending on your country & threat model.
I like the randomized pin pad on the Trezor. That's ideal in my book.
