Kensington launches VeriMark NFC+ USB-C and USB-A security keys with FIDO2 Level 2 protection

I am looking to buy a set of hardware security keys. The #yubikey seems to be the most common and best documented, but the lack of open source and upgradable firmware puts me off. #nitrokey seems like a better option in this regard, but the design is not as nice. I would also very much like a key that combines both USB-A and C. I have now found the #token2 [PIN+ Dual Release3](https://www.token2.com/shop/product/pin-dual-release3-fido2-1-key-with-openpgp-and-otp-and-dual-usb-ports) which fulfills this, but the company is completely unknown to me, and I haven't found much discussion of their products online, which makes me a bit reluctant. They are, however, a member of the FIDO alliance, which is reassuring. The Linux support for their tools also seem to be second-grade. Does anyone have any experience with them?
I intend to use the key for FIDO U2F/FIDO2 authentication, as well as TOTP for the services that do not yet support FIDO. I also want to use it for storing my PGP and SSH private keys.
