My first thought is, why does a keyboard even need its own software? There's a reason PS/2 and USB HID are standards...<p>I remember purchasing an HP printer a while ago --- it came with a CD full of useless crap, including drivers that took a full 400MB installer containing, among other things, a JVM, Apache Tomcat, and a bunch of other Java-based bloat for the "management UI". I just used the OS generic HP/PCL driver and it's been working that way since. I have heard that even those drivers phone home now, to report how many pages were printed and ink levels etc.<p>Telemetry --- it's in everything now, and this greatly disgusts me. No doubt it's probably buried somewhere deep in the EULA for this keyboard's software, that you agreed to the collection of "aggregate key usage information" or similar. Read the Windows 10 EULA for some similarly creepy wording.<p>Also, if you're paranoid about USB keyboards containing other "hidden devices", a USB-PS/2 adapter would probably work to stop anything else from getting through.
