Also I like the 2W power consumption spec. That's 80% of the available power on a standard USB port. I guess your keyboard gets the remaining 20%. Better not have any RGB LEDs on it.

Galvanic isolation is my new favourite term. I'm going to waste all day hassling people in Chrome asking why the sandbox isn't using galvanic isolation.

It's a real term... the kind of thing you might want in a medical device, or a RS485 network. They seem to think it matters for a USB keyboard, somehow.

presumably to stop side-channel attacks like this: https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity17/technical-sessions/presentation/su … but you still need to power the KB so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

sure, you could convert the DC to AC and pass it through a transformer, but that wouldn't necessarily stop side channels

I'm guessing it's from some government requirement more than anything

More likely just snake oil and marketing bullshit.

agreed, although if I were making one of these devices, I'd probably use two microcontrollers with a one-way opto-isolator to ensure no digital data could flow in the opposite direction
