I acutally wasn't surprised that this was possible, but now someone has really demonstrated it.

Interesting. Wireless keyboards are even more dangerous, though. :)

It mentions "cost pressures in the design". Would it be possible that older, more expensive keyboards emanate less electromagnetic energy?

I guess that electrotatic insulation in cheaper models leaks more electromagnetic pulses. My mouse's cord is so thin that I belive there aren't any electrotatic insulation besides the rubber insulation. :P
