You've really drunk the cool-aid, haven't you? Products from the "land of the free", with its public-private Stasi (NSA in full cooperation with FAANG/Silicon Valley more generally) are inherently "more trustworthy" than those made in "China". If only the world were that simple.. Sadly, that was a lie even when McCarthy and the Cold War were still in full swing, let alone now, when everything described in 1984 is both technologically completely possible, and enacted (the only difference being that it's done in a less blatantly fascist manner than in the book). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

You need to enable the keyboard sys-usb forwarding permission in qubes settings files, there is a guide on the website for that. > I'm asking because I bought the (IMHO best ergonomic mouse/keyboard combo; > wireless) "Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop" [0], but only the mouse works > (and only once you have logged into your QubesOS session), not the keyboard. > > So based on what is one supposed to make the buying decision? > The best keyboards are made in a first world country and have firmware that can't be internally flashed - the unicomp keyboards fit the bill here and are much more secure as the firmware can't be re-written and they are made in usa thus more trustworthy than one that is made in china. The price is very reasonable as they are expected to last for 30 years or so - mine is over a decade old and it still looks good as new after I clean it and it has also survived spills thanks to the drain holes and design that prevents water ingress. Mechanical keyboards are great :D -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Keyboard not working: How to make the buying decision?
Is there a way to know which keyboards are incompatible with QubesOS? Or do we just need to keep on buying keyboards until one works? I'm asking because I bought the (IMHO best ergonomic mouse/keyboard combo; wireless) "Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop" [0], but only the mouse works (and only once you have logged into your QubesOS session), not the keyboard. So based on what is one supposed to make the buying decision? --- [0] https://www.microsoft.com/accessories/en-us/products/keyboards/sculpt-ergonomic-desktop/l5v-1 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
