*The USB wireless keyboard IS itself a problem*. You are unnecessarily
contaminating the environment consuming Voltaic cells where none is
needed (obviously wired keyboards feed through the cable) and
broadcasting what you write over the air, including your passwords.

& how to fix it? Thanks!

Very simple: Use a wired keyboard.


Don't forget your TEMPEST-approved faraday cage (I mean, what's the wire between the keyboard and the computer if not a nice aerial?) Oh, and don't forget to regularly check around the back of your computer to confirm no-one's put a keylogger in between the computer and the keyboard.

Honestly, unnecessary paranoia adds NOTHING to this conversation.
