Don't know who they are but there's some speculation that Yubico is Crypto AG like.

SoloKeys appear to use open source firmware, whereas Yubico's firmware is closed source since the Yubikey 4 I believe. Other than that, they seem about the same. SoloKeys is a lot younger and missing a couple of Yubikey Neo's bigger features (like PGP support).

#6Oh my... I saw FIDO2 and immediately (for some reason) thought it was a resurgence of FidoNet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FidoNet and somehow someone built a new FidoNet with security and audits.

OpenPGP is arriving, will be available via firmware upgrade.

Why did Yubikey ever close source their firmware? It's really saddening to see a company going back on that

I don't believe it's just open firmware, but I think it's also an open hardware project.
While perhaps not as slick as yubikey, I do have several solo keys and they're great. Only real complaint is I wasn't able to get the NFC working, which I believe is a common issue, and I think they were working on an updated design that should work more widely with a range of devices.
