I just got my new Cherry wireless keyboards delivered. And then I read 
about Mousejack.

The keyboard communications are encrypted, and both mouse and keyboard 
are rechargeable. But I at least have to check with Cherry support to 
learn whether or not my new toys are vulnerable. I suspect that they are.

Dangit.

Though the keyboard had nice action, and the mouse was at least okay, 
they did suffer from intermittent loss of communication with the systems 
we were using them on.

Back to the cheap wired Dell clackity keyboard and the rather nice wired 
Microsoft comfort mouse.
