I think Yubikeys are more popular. The Nitrokeys I like because they release the source code of their stuff.

The Nitrokey Storage can act as a GPG Smartcard, x.504 smartcard, password manager, TOTP and HOTP device, and in addition
has hardware powered encryiption - meaning the encryption and decryption operation is carried by an internal chip instead of
an operating system. It features anti-tampering design, so Biden's agents can break the key open and extract its contents
easily, and the device self-bricks if you enter the wrong password too often.

A lot of this stuff you can do in software, but if you are dealing with industrial data these things are a step up in the
security ladder.
