Cherry Releases an Encrypted Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Bundle

Because you never know who's snooping

Privacy's a hot topic, especially since our innocence was shattered when former NSA subcontractor Edward Snowden confirmed that we can't even pass gas without the government knowing what we ate for lunch. Like it or not, it's the world we live in, though it doesn't mean we have to wave the white flag. To thwart more casual snoopers, Cherry's JD-0400EU Encrypted Wireless Keyboard and Mouse combo might do the trick.
According to Cherry, you're "guaranteed secure data transmission with an advanced energy supply" when using its wireless keyboard and mouse bundle. The set includes AES 128-bit encryption with a cable charging function for both the keyboard and mouse. The peripherals also feature rechargeable NiMH batteries with a low self-discharge rate.
Unfortunately the keyboard doesn't use Cherry MX key switches, and is instead based on SX (scissor switch) technology. The keys also look to be low profile, which can be a plus or minus depending on your preference.
The mouse is ambidextrous, has three buttons, and up to a 2000 dpi.
No word yet on when the combo will appear in retail or for how much.
