I'd buy this except that I use the OTP feature of the Yubikey a great deal, from multiple different OSes, and the lack of an OTP-generating button on the Nitrokey makes it a whole lot less convenient on that score.

Precisely. For me the killer feature of Yubikey is it's keyboard emulation. Press the button and it spits out a OTP in very plain text any application can accept. It's gained numerous other features over time, but none are as useful as that particular one. It meant it worked with all hardware on the planet. It was so simple open source didn't really come into it - you didn't need much in the way of source at all.

Give me Yubikey like thingy that did the same trick, albeit with battery and bluetooth keyboard emulation added on (particularly if you could recharge the batter from USB), and I'd be in heaven.

Does anybody know if such a thing exists?
