[FSG-public] Radio Wireless computer equipment hack

[Kris O'Connell]

Yep. Interesting article, someone's finally talking about it. It's not
entirely their fault. Adding encryption means formatting the data in a
structured manner and ciphering it before it's transmitted, which adds
latency. Lots of it. While it may not be much of an issue for a
keyboard, it's certainly not acceptable for someone gaming or someone
that needs a fast responding non-laggy mouse. I've always preferred
wired myself, best of both speed and security ( except for the radar
based sniffing solutions, but that requires your device to be physically
compromised first ).

thanks for sharing.
