What are your thoughts on the Trezor Model One for anyone out there who used it or recommends it?
I personally recommend it, I got a Trezor One as a gift in 2020 and I am happy with it.
The main Pro's the wallet is open source and the philosophy of Satoshilabs is good when comes to privacy and crypto-identity,
albeit they are humans so they are still subjected to mistakes.They have a good history of transparency with the flaws and weak points of their products,
and if they have even kept anything hidden it was because confidentiality agreements between them and their chip provider, this has led them to found Tropic Square.The devices are easy to use, they offer regular updates and security patches and they support most of the important projects within the crypto ecosystem.
It can also be used as auth key, so you can protect your Google, Binance, Microsoft and other accounts from unauthorized access. The main Con's: In the case of the trezor one, the first thing that comes to mind is the lack of support with comes to important projects that have recently appeared.
For example, Trezor One supports projects that back in the day may have been quite important withtin the community, like Bitcoin Cash, Namecoin, Peercoin or Bitcoin Gold... but these projects have lost relevance in favor of others like Cardano or Monero. You could find in a situation where you would like to store Cardano or Monero in your Trezor One, but you can't while you could store other coins which do not catch your attention at all.
Trezor T, on the other hand, supports Cardano and Monero. So be aware of this before proceeding with your purchase.
Some people take like a con the materials of the Trezor One, they say it feel fragile or "cheap" for the 50$+ it is worth. I do not think so, in my opinion one needs to keep in mind this is not supposed to be a "premium" wallet and the fact Satoshilabs continues to offer patches and support to this device (coders are not free).
One may feel the materials are not good at first when you unbox the Trezor and have it on your hand, but when one start to use and get used to the device, one can tell it is a good designed one, imo.
any problems on hardware.
Nothing serious,
The wallet itself is kind of vulnerable to be cracked if a thief has prolonged physical access to it. Because of this it is recommended to use it with a passphrase to add an extra layer of security, just be careful not to lose it, otherwise you will lose access to your coins.
In case you dont want to use a passphare, keep your wallet (and seed, obviusly) in a separate and safe place and check on it every now and then, in case you lose the wallet, you must use the seed as soon as possible to move your funds to another wallet you control, in case someone is already trying to crack your lost wallet.
Good with DEX's?
Trezor one, I believe it is quite good for DEX which Blockchains are compatible with, you will need to use an external wallet/addon in order to do so, like metamask.
I have tested it with Uniswap and
I have done swaps on Ronin Wallet's DEX, it has worked flawlessly. Be aware that Trezor One is not compatible with Binance Smart Chain, as far as I am aware, so you won't be able to interact with that blockchain. Trezor T, on the other hand, it is and can store Binance Coin.
Trezor one allows you to visualize and keep track of your ETH tokens natively.

feel the company be around a while and all your funds be safe?
Because of the open-source nature of Trezor One, even if Satoshilabs goes out business their code may be picked-up by some developer of good reputation to continue with the support/development.
In any case, as long as you keep your seed save(and passphrase, in case you set one up) you will have no problem to access your funds from another hardware wallet or software wallet which allows you to import your seeds onto it.
Just keep in mind, that the moment you import a seed generated from a Trezor to a software/hot wallet, that seed is not longar as secure as used to be before importing it, because now has "touched" an internet connected machine. In that case, you
should never import that seed again back to a hardware wallet, but generate another seed instead.
Please, be sure that even after reading our recommendations to do your own research, have a good day.
