I do data entry keying for the state.
Because it's sensitive documents they have some pretty strict rules to follow in terms of privacy and confidentiality.
I was wondering if on board memory on keyboards could reasonably have the potential to actually take such information.
I ask because they are sort of nervous about the idea of allowing personal keyboards at the workplace. The problem is they provide some of the worst keyboards in existence. A bunch are low-profile Dell keyboards and some are flat keys, I believe this may be 'chiclet' style that everyone hates.
I happen to have been lucky enough to get a station with a Keytronic which is about as good a membrane as you can ask for but still not ideal for me in terms of overall layout (mini backspace key, I'm a chronic back spacer, this is unacceptable).
I want to know about this so if I present an argument for bringing in my own I can at least assuage their worries on this topic if it comes up (assuming they even know about on board memory).
Their other concern is people knocking out other plugs while putting theirs in. I can somewhat understand that, I don't exactly work with the cream of the crop, but seriously you can't fuck up a USB.
