i use a decade old installation of the "logitech gaming software" to reconfigure buttons because the (((newer))) ones require internet connection and an "account"
fuck that noise, these peripheral companies don't know how replaceable they really are
There's no reason to have internet connection or accounts for that. Once the device breaks you'll buy a new mouse and keyboard anyway with different features which means the old profiles wouldn't work anyway.
If you found that, companies have been sued and lost for much less
Not all keyloggers works the same, there's no standard or regulations for how to program a simple software to log keystrokes. These advanced keyboards usually support macros too, chances are they log keys using their own already established format.
Nowadays Windows itself is one big keylogger, categorizing everything you do, every file you save, every picture, screenshots regularly and read the ext from it only to organize it all into a forensics wet dream.
This keylogger could be in the driver itself and upload only the relevant data while "saving your profile" which would be their official excuse to offer cloud connection for a keyboard in the first place. This traffic would be encrypted, meaning you can't see anything out of the ordinary.
(((They))) are not only stealing your data, (((they))) even have the guts to make you do all the processing in searching through it and extract only relevant stuff, like personal data, credit card numbers, email, phone numbers etc to sell to pajeets.
These companies do this sort of fuckery because they know they will get away with it. A class action lawsuit requires proof of what data they send which means you'll have to break their encryption. It's impossible to win, and even if you do it's a fine of 0.02% of their yearly profit, which is nothing. The US have no consumer protection laws.
Yes

I know

An OS by definition captures keystrokes and gets them to programs. I'm ignoring the rest of the crap you said because I specifically asked about keylogging. Windows even has the setwindowshookex api which allows you to hook into low level keyboard i/o. So let's move this forward and get to your evidence.
> This traffic would be encrypted, meaning you can't see anything out of the ordinary.
Yet, you'd have the algorithm used, and the key used. You'd be able to NOP out the encryption and observe your keystrokes being sent out over the wire. Again. Where is that proof?
> which means you'll have to break their encryption.
You actually wouldn't have to. See above. The code running on your machine is there for anybody to investigate, with free tools. What PE file is this evil keylogger in?
So I'm guessing you don't have any evidence of this keylogging software.... and you have a wild imagination and you started with your conclusion.
This is all embedded into the driver or service itself and won't be a file named russianhackerkeylogger.exe hidden somewhere. The burden of evidence is not on me, we have consumer protection laws here in the developed word were companies must prove that they do not collect or sell customer data.
Companies collecting and selling your personal data isn't even the biggest threat, they won't search through it to steal your password. But the Russian hacker who gain access to the companies servers will, and the company may sell your phone number and email to pajeet scammers.
Your attitude is what causes you to buy a (((smart))) home, controlled remotely by Alexa or Google, the fact that they listen to everything you say isn't even your biggest worry. One day someone will report you for racism and suddenly you're locked out of your own home for weeks. That's how you get fucked. One day your "forever" mouse and keyboard will simply stop working because the company decided to ban you over a bullshit reason.
Just don't let (((them))) fuck you over stupid. Only buy products that you own and control yourself and stick to open source drivers.
It's also like the "I was talking about shoes and then Facebook gave me ads for shoes."
If that were really someone would have uncovered the traffic. I don't think it was ever real.
Case in point, have you ever considered why your high end (((smart))) phone with more computation power than your 10 year old desktop PC gets glowing hot, just by you checking your emails and texting your fens all while draining the battery in no time. A battery so powerful that it would be enough for an old phone for 10 years.
