Would a keyboard of this nature be worth the investment since technology is moving towards touchscreens? Presumably keyboards will still have some need but if you keep your software updated, scan your computer frequently and have installed the necessary protection ... would you invest in this type of keyboard?

Probably not worth the investment for the security features. A typical wireless keyboard has a "range" of about 10 feet. That is, one would need to be within the "range" circle to pick up a keyboard. Since almost all discrete keyboards are used with desktop systems, that means a person would need to lurk outside your bedroom window in order to pick up a standard keyboard. Even should he do so, all wireless keyboards have some encryption so they don't interfere with nearby keyboards such as in a classroom. Such encryption is not great security but it does mean your keyboard will not be picked up by a casual encounter with another computer. Key loggers are software apps that are secretly installed on your computer and are easily detected by any security program. I do not think this keyboard would prevent that type of snooping. As for its other features such as key shape, silence and etched letters, you need decide if those features are worth the extra cost. |
