Hardware security key options?

I’ve been thinking about getting a hardware security key and have heard of yubikey before; but I want to see what my options are and if they are worth it in your opinion.
My current setup is a local KeePassXC database (that I sync between my PC and phone and also acts as TOTP authenticator app), I know that KeePass supports hardware keys for unlocking the database.

I am personally still of the belief that passwords are the safest when done right; but 2FA/MFA can greatly increase security on top of that (again, if done right).
The key work work together with already existing passwords, not replace them.

As I use linux as my primary OS I do expect it to support it and anything that doesn’t I will have to pass on.

PS: what are the things I need to know about these hardware keys that’s not being talked about too much, I am very much delving into new territory and want to make sure I’m properly educated before I delve in.

    There’s a Swedish startup named Tilitis making open source, verifiably secure hardware keys, but they’re not well supported at the moment.

    Yubikey probably has the widest support for things like password managers and automatic sign in.

      I use yubikey, hard to find sites that fully support yubikey services (the one touch feature)
