Yes.

My [problem](https://github.com/privacytools/privacytools.io/pull/1713#issuecomment-588311326) with OnlyKey is that they allow you to back up the key to a file, which is not typical for hardware security keys. Generally the point is that the private keys on such a device never touch software.
