How safe are wireless keyboards?
If someone connected to my computer anonymously, would they be able to track my keystrokes?

...or am i being paranoid?

You can put locks on but then again there are ways people can get around them. But they would have to be very close to you to connect being the signals from things such as Wireless Keyboards don't go very far. If this is going to be for the Axim (which I assume since it is an Axim forum) than it may be of some concern in a public place. Borders for example where people set up things like this.

Surely being a Bluetooth device you should be able to encrypt the BT connection as well as pair the devices, locking others out.

The main risk as far as I can see is that they could physically see you typing.

Just a thought..
