I see a lot of ads these days for fancy mechanical keyboards from numerous brands, but the thing I always wonder about is: how do we know these keyboards dont have keyloggers or other spying tech built into them?

    Cause you make way way more money selling at most 100k mechanical keyboards (that are usually designed and made in china so it costs 20 cents to make it and you sell it for 60 dollars) than it would be hoping enough of those 100k people have data valuable enough to steal.

      Also depends from brand to brand. You know Logitech/Razer etc are gonna squeeze whatever they can out of you while selling crappy overpriced products.
