There’s Safe Dot that also notify if an app is using location and camera, besides microphone. It’s available on F-droid and Play Store.

What would be an example of that combination?

Something like Logitech K580. The keys are a bit tight with each other, but they have almost all those keys independently.

I like your comment. Reasonable feedback to recommend logitech K650 fits nicely into my needs. Going to explore if there are more choice just like this keyboard.

Thanks for your insight. Gonna avoid the G keys Logitech keyboard.

Happened to me too. Who’s the dumb government vendor doing these applications?

You wouldn’t know if they hash it or not.
