Would other barcode scanners work as well? I know the cuecat has a cult following and a fun history, but you can get modern handheld scanners for about the same price (up through "far far more expensive" obviously). But I have no idea if librarything integrates with them as smoothly.

- jimnotgym 5y agoAlmost certainly any barcode scanner would work. A barcode scanner is essentially a keyboard emulator. It types in the value it scans into whatever field the cursor is in. You can also program them using a set of special barcodes you can download. A nice feature is to make it hit 'enter' after scanning to activate a feature or 'tab' to jump to the next field!
