Besides the #Nitrokey FIDO2, I also already have a Nitrokey U2F & a Solo Somu from #SoloKeys, so I wasn't too keen on paying 50€ + shipping for a new Nitrokey 3A Mini – a product I wouldn't need if my old key's firmware had been updated.

Instead, I bought a 🇨🇭 Token2 PIN+ Dual R3 whose hardware and firmware is also open-source and which costs only 25€ + shipping: token2.eu/shop/product/pin-dua #T2F2

The only downside is that #Token2 manufacture their products outside Europe (Nitrokeys are made in 🇩🇪).

As I need an Ed25519-SK SSH key generated with a hardware token, I tried to use my Nitrokey #FIDO2 for that, but: no.

Years ago, #ed25519 had experimentally been added to the firmware (not released) but later #Nitrokey stated that customers should've donated on top of the selling price to get firmware updates & advised to buy the new product instead.

The latter would be OK if the old key wasn't sold anymore, but it is still sold & the firmware was last updated in 2021.
