Scanner HW for stock_barcodes (OCA/stock-logistics-barcode)

Hi I have been playing with this great stock_barcodes module on runboat:
    https://github.com/OCA/stock-logistics-barcode/tree/15.0/stock_barcodes

Been testing barcode input with xdotool on Linux; works fine for simple tests.
(More info about it in the "bar code scanner simulator" discussion from March 2020 in this mailing list.)

My question to people using this module - do you have specific scanner hardware you would recommend?

I notice the module has a dependency on barcodes from Odoo Community, which implements scanning interface here.
Odoo itself recommends hardware here and here, but I'm not sure if that applies to Odoo Community or Enterprise only.

Our OCA module also seems to implement such a scanning interface here, and without importing elements from that barcodes module (from what I can see on a cursory glance)?
Hence my question - should I follow Odoo's scanner HW recommendation, or is our interface slightly different?

Thanks for your input
