It looks like they only tested one keyboard from a MacBook. I'd be curious if other keyboard styles are as susceptible to the attack. It also doesn't say how many people's typing that they listened to. I know mine changes depending on my mood or excitement about something, I'm sure that would affect it.

My wife types with her fists when I’m trying to have Zoom meetings.

They’re pretty quiet keyboards. It probably alllies to any keyboard that they feel like putting work into learning.
