Buddy if your "sandbox" lets code inside it replace your keyboard's firmware you don't have a sandbox.

Programming your keyboard is actually a common case! See usevia.app

  • It is indeed common!

    But a keyboard flashed with malicious firmware becomes an undetectable keylogger, a USB rubber ducky, and a virus-laden USB stick all in one.

    The concept that someone would want to reflash their keyboard firmware, but wants a sandbox because they don't trust the firmware programmer makes no sense.
