      <windows-key>R brings up a run dialog with the focus already in the text box waiting for a command. No mouse needed.

  So long as it can simulate them, installing a keylogger that can read them too is a matter of a few seconds (to "type" a PowerShell script that will download and execute the desired payload).

  I took GP to be speculating about a hypothetical secretly-IoT-keyboard, not the cable being discussed. Similar thoughts are explored in the comments on TFA.

    Yes. I assumed it would be straightforward after you figure out how to hide wifi inside a USB cable.
