fwiw, you probably don't need to worry on input devices where you can feasibly flash the firmware. homebrew keyboards and keyboards that support this, you're probably in the clear in terms of security concerns (... I think)

ZMK documents security concerns around Bluetooth connections.
TL;DR: there are no known vulnerabilities after a bond has been made - a bond should be made in a controlled environment to avoid MITM

@cwebber Part of me feels like if it applies to wireless keyboards it's going to apply to wired ones too given a much better antenna.
@lanodan true for eavesdropping, but is it true for pushing inputs?

Do you trust wireless input devices on security-critical computers
@cwebber on a security critical computer (and also my own) i use wired input only, bluetooth is horribly insecure anyways and id rather just wire everything, im doing the same when my airpods die out and getting anc wired earbuds cuz i dont want to use wireless input/output where possible

@cwebber the most security-critical way to use a computer is without an input device

Do you trust wireless input devices on security-critical computers
cwebber@social.coop new cursed product idea: a smart keyboard that sends all input to a cloud server for processing before bouncing it back for the OS.
Why? uhm... Maybe... Universal clipboard? Download our app!
Edit: also no cords! Please connect to your wifi network for your convenience π

Do you trust wireless input devices on security-critical computers
@cwebber I pretty much only use wireless input devices (IR remote and ps5 gamepad) with the little PC hooked up to the TV for video playback and such.
Beyond any security implications, I just really never want to worry about charging or replacing *more* batteries in my day-to-day computing experience, much less RF interference/flakiness issues.

Fwiw I don't use wireless inputs on security-critical computers myself. It's not that I'm completely convinced that they can't be safe, it's that I'm not convinced enough that I could keep the firmware updated and research the topic to the degree required
