That's why I use a wired mouse pointer on my laptop and wired keyboard and mouse pointer on my home desktop computer.

Sure, in theory at least any RF device can be monitored and hacked, by passive monitoring or the “man in the middle” technique. Thinking encryption or security features will prevent this is like thinking a really good lock will prevent someone from breaking into your house. Better locks create a demand for better lockpickers.

In a practical sense, someone would be lucky to get into my Logitech Unifying Recerver from TWO feet away at times much less twenty. The distance of these things sucks.

Oh no.
Someone might steal copies of all my superhero novels and early twentieth century detective stories.

All my ebooks are belong to them.

I’d be more worried about someone hacking the Bluetooth keyboard signal and logging all of the keystrokes than I would be about someone spoofing a keyboard or mouse.

Any chance of it affecting Linux? (They changed the name Logitech to Logicool a few years ago here, but same company, as far as I know..)

Shouldn’t be too much a worry anyway, I switch the mouse off when I’m not too active on it to save battery.

Wires, wires, wires. Keyboard, mouse, Ethernet cable.

If you’re paranoid, you can store your mouse and keyboard in a safe when not in use.

This stuff never ends. There will always be security threats as long as there are high tech criminals. The problem is that all of the methods used to deal with this are defensive. What I want are some offensive options that attack and destroy the system that is attempting to break into my system.

Ping to check out later.

Got a non-Bluetooth wireless mouse? Ruh-roh ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

Thanks to ShadowAce for the ping!!

I’ve got a Logitech M310 mouse and K520 keyboard combo. (also called an MK520 combo) They weren’t listed, but I’ve had them for a while. Doesn’t appear to be any Linux software for it.

The linked patch, RQR_012_005_00028.exe, is digitally signed by Logitech Inc. Logitech should offer the file for download from its own website.
