In fact using a wireless keyboard you're just increasing the chances of someone get your signal:
- through the air (exploiting some fail on the encryption)
*and*
- through the eletromagnetic field generated by the keyboard (the same way with wired keyboards, just with a signal slightly weaker for the absence of the wire).
Perhaps as Cédric have pointed, someone that could get as near as to get the signal (and carry the equipment to do do this) probably would use an easier way to spy on you.
