I see a lot of ads these days for fancy mechanical keyboards from numerous brands, but the thing I always wonder about is: how do we know these keyboards dont have keyloggers or other spying tech built into them?

This is the correct answer, if that’s something that concerns a person. This would virtually guarantee privacy, and it’s not unlike the impetus behind open source hardware/software.
But like you said, there’s no reason a company would go through the trouble of production, unless they thought that they would get a payout from it before getting caught (and that’s a big gamble for operating out in the open like that).
