"According to security researchers at Bastille, the so-called KeySniffer
vulnerability affects wireless keyboards that use a less secure,
radio-based communication protocol rather than a Bluetooth connection.
The affected keyboards come from eight different hardware makers and use
transceiver chips or non-Bluetooth chips. These chips are cheaper than
Bluetooth chips, but they also don’t receive Bluetooth’s frequent
security updates. That’s a problem."
Yet another reason to avoid cheap wireless keyboards.
