I got my new reader but haven't connected it yet. It seems like a lot of bother to have to swipe and insert the cards and input a pin. I've been telling folks that I haven't gotten my new reader up a running so a check would be perfectly acceptable but I don't think I can keep that up for long.

Not really. No swipe at all. Insert card. If debit, enter the pin as
you do now. If credit, just sign if required. It does take a little
longer though for the chip to be read.
