I recently got a Bluetooth keyboard from someone, but there's no brand or label on it. It seems like it powers on and might work, but I'm hesitant to connect it to my iPad. I'm worried about potential risks like malware or other issues. Also, I'm curious about how companies make money off these no-name products.

I get why you might not trust it, but think about this: if you’re really worried, just be careful with what you type when it’s paired. And yeah, showing a picture might help others identify it and give more insight on its safety.
It’s understandable to be cautious about unbranded tech. While it’s true that most low-cost keyboards aren’t likely to have malware, there are exceptions. Generally, the effort involved in implanting malware into such a cheap device outweighs the potential gain. These keyboards are mass-produced, so if there were any issues, they would likely be found quickly by someone using them in a more secure environment.
Exactly! Plus, think about it—companies that produce these keyboards are more invested in getting them out the door than in risking a whole batch with malware. It's just not viable for them.
