⚡️👀 NEW - Some users suggest weighing your hardware wallet to get an initial indication of a possible implant inside by comparing the weight to the manufacturer’s official specifications.

This can help identify an obvious anomaly, but BEWARE of the lists circulating online, as some values are incorrect or confuse the weight with and without the battery or accessories.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, a “normal” weight in no way proves that a device is secure; it’s mainly an initial clue if the weight is incorrect.

Weight checks have a low detection ceiling — modern implants (e.g. a tiny NFC chip or modified secure element) can add under 100mg, well within normal manufacturing tolerance variance between units of the same model. The actual defense is supply chain integrity: buy direct from manufacturer, verif...

This is why I use a Nintendo 64 as a hardware wallet. It would be expensive for the authorities to tamper with every shipment of game systems and flashcarts

That doesn't seem like a fireproof way to check. Even better would be to remove the problem, the hardware wallet.

Worth adding that the Nano X implant in our story tapped the screen's data lines without adding bulk. A device can be implanted and still weigh in spec, so this is a weak signal at best, as you say.
