Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a UID-changeable RFID keyfob and how does it work?
A: A UID-changeable RFID keyfob operates at 13.56 MHz and contains a rewritable chip whose unique identifier (UID) can be overwritten using a compatible RFID card writer. This makes it ideal for cloning, testing, and development with MIFARE Classic 1K systems — no battery is required, as it draws power passively from the reader's electromagnetic field.
Q: Is this keyfob compatible with standard RFID door locks and access systems?
A: Yes. This 13.56 MHz RFID keyfob is compatible with most MIFARE Classic 1K readers and writers, which are widely used in door access control systems, time-attendance machines, smart lockers, and hobbyist electronics projects. Always verify your reader's chip compatibility before purchasing.
Q: Can the UID be rewritten multiple times?
A: Yes — the chip is designed to support multiple rewrite cycles, making it a durable and flexible option for testing environments or applications where the card ID needs to be updated or cloned repeatedly.
