I want to integrate login with badge into prespective and I want some recommendations about compatible/recommended USB RFID card readers for PC.

The badge login will only work with readers that can output key events followed by a carriage return.

RFideas has some USB Keystroking (keyboard wedge) readers that would work with Perspective. The specific part number would depend on what kind of cards you're planning on reading.

> The WAVE ID Plus card reader supports proximity and contactless smart cards simultaneously. It's easy to use and integrates into most applications with a keystroking or an SDK model. 

(the above are dual-frequency readers, if you're not looking for that you can poke around for their single-frequency offerings)

You can set them up to send a carriage return after the card data using their config software.
