Jade is great from a Bitcoin only and price perspective, removing the secure element from the device could be smart, but I guess time will tell.

Seedsigner is great if you are even slightly technically inclined, as you get multiple layers of assurance that your seed isn't accessible by anyone.

Coldcard is the GOAT so far.

Trezor caters to far too many altcoins, which divert dev resources away from Bitcoin related security work.

Ledger is dead to me.

With Coldcard not maintaining a public issue tracker I'm uncomfortable with them, too.

Jade did a smart construct by essentially moving the secure element's responsibility to some server. Now the attacker would have to attack that server and your hardware, which is a slightly different scenary than to break the SE's unknowable security.

Seedsigner now is even reproducible but the private key is supposed to reside on a piece of paper, which might not be ideal for all users.

I want to like Trezor. First love and stuff but have to agree on the shitcoinery.
