Should I Worry About Malware on a Resold Gaming Keyboard?

Asked By DigitalNomad42 On

I might be overthinking this, but I'm curious to hear your thoughts. I previously purchased a Logitech gaming keyboard through a third-party seller on Amazon, and now I'm having second thoughts about using it with my MacBook. There's a nagging worry that since it wasn't bought directly from Logitech or an authorized retailer, it could potentially be tampered with – maybe having a hardware keylogger or some form of malware. I've learned the hard way about maintaining digital hygiene, so I'm trying to be cautious. Am I being too paranoid? What do you all think? Thanks in advance for your input!

Zero chance, really! Just enjoy your new keyboard! But yeah, maybe delete this post before it catches the attention of scammers.

Honestly, the risk is practically 0%. As long as you’re not messing around with any sketchy software or sites, you should be good!

Honestly, I think you're just being paranoid. The chances of getting a tainted keyboard from a reputable brand like Logitech are pretty slim. Just make sure to keep your software updated and run regular scans.

The likelihood is super low, like around 0.001%. It’s not impossible, but I wouldn’t stress too much about it. Just use some common sense when it comes to security and you’ll be fine.

Thanks for the reassurance! I guess I just got a little carried away worrying about it.
