Logitech MK320 wireless keyboard encryption?

[Hyena]

I just wondered how sure I can be that my Logitech MK320 wireless keyboard really is secure. I googled around but did not find anything convincing. Logitech itself claims that they use hardware encryption. Has anyone tested and confirmed the keyboard's real security by attempting to crack it for example?

I've wondered that too. If the keystrokes are sent to the computer one at a time, wouldn't it be pretty easy to look for timing and common patterns and determine most of the letters?

Maybe there's some kind of system where it salts it with the previous keystrokes, or maybe it uses a new key every key or every few keys.

Sorry for posting 6 years later, but I have exactly the same keyboard.

I will say that it's possible to take control of some wireless keyboards (even with AES encryption) and install keylogger (including this one). There is evidence that it's possible: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/07/hackers-can-spy-on-wireless-keyboards-from-hundreds-of-feet-away/492962/

Also, you can't be sure that there are no backdoors here. Some manufacturers and governments have been known to put backdoors inside their encryption solutions.

Your best bet is to use a wired/laptop keyboard if you need to type your password.

That's what I did actually. I have 2 keyboards simultaneously connected to the PC. One is wireless which I seldomly use when I need to type from the bed. The regular one has a wire.
