What’s the best hardware crypto wallet in 2025 for normal humans?

I’m finally ready to stop trusting hot wallets with everything, and it’s time for a hardware crypto wallet. The problem is—there are too many options and too many strong opinions out there.

Ledger, Trezor, Keystone, Coldcard, SafePal… some are open-source, some are touchscreen, and some look like little tanks. I’m not a developer or a tinfoil-hat level privacy expert—I just want something secure, well-supported, and not a total nightmare to use.

Are there any wallets that strike that balance in 2025? Something that protects my crypto but doesn’t require reading a full whitepaper to set up?

If you’ve bought a hardware wallet recently, what made you choose it—and do you feel confident recommending it?
