@Edent Ohh, neat. The "Writer" appears to be a very standard USB class device for contactless smartcards. Which means, the badge is likely presenting as an ISO 14443 PICC.
Do you have a phone with "NFC" and can check whether https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nxp.taginfolite can see the badge?
That would mean it should be possible to reprogram it without their writer, maybe with a phone or laptop built-in NFC/RFID interface. (Probably contingent on sufficient field strength/power transmission.)
@henryk cheers. TagInfo doesn't work with it - although it will read my other badges. I'm wondering if it is a power thing. I'll try some of my other USB readers to see if they can get it to come alive.
