If you require a hardware wallet find an old mobile phone with a crypto wallet to store your tokens on it, it cannot be hacked when it stays offline meaning you do not need it to connect to internet just scan the QR code of that given token address on the old mobile to your live mobile phone or desktop computer.

Dr CSW recommended this usage of old mobile phones in 2018. Now l am reading this article below. so you can do the same to many people are losing their hard earn cash or tokens lately. Polkadot are correct in their way of thinking don't waste your money on these hackable devices on the market.
