Wireless keyboards a privacy and security risk

When it comes to security many people may mention internet connections, WiFi, passwords etc.

But one of the important and overlooked aspect is the input devices or HID (Human Interface Device) as the computer likes to have it named, such as the mouse and keyboard and why not throw in a (electronic) pencil while you're at it.

Before chosing your next wireless combo, it may pay to see if the transmission is encrypted between the USB dongle and the input device.







You may want to look at something that has AES 128bit encryption


If you're after true peace of mind, then good a ol' trusty wired connection would suffice.
