On a scale from 0 to 10?

On a scale from 1 to 10, I'd say it's an 2/11 job

Depends what spec it uses.
Earlier versions didn't support encryption.
Newer versions I think have base support for any messaging by default.
It's more a case of googling for your hardware.

Wireless in general is inherently less safe regardless.
What can't be hacked today could be collected and hacked in a year.

Of course, if you had someone recording your keystrokes wirelessly, you've likely pissed a government or agency off, so even your power-lines probably tapped to watch you, or reflective reconstruction if you have any shiny walls in your room and open windows.
There's a fuckload of ways to get at you that depend on leaked data. (some are slow, like leaking via your CPU fans frequency, or temperature)
Or, you know, the old fashioned way, hack you.

The older the keyboard the easier it is OP. However even if you go and buy the latest and greatest BT keyboard, it's still not terribly hard under most circumstances..

I strongly suggest you use a wired keyboard if you are paranoid about this sort of thing, but your computer probably already has a botnet on it logging your keystrokes anyway.

Fairly easily, for a strong threat model with physical access within a room or two (through one wall).

Bluetooth's key exchange/pairing process is an absolute shitshow, packet timing reveals keystroke timing which has a very strong predictable correlation to keystroke content, and the 2.4GHz band is attenuated well enough by your limbs to predict your hand movements relative to the antenna by measuring the signal strength over time (that one fucks with passwords on mobile phones, too).

Note that using wired keyboards does not necessarily eliminate side-channel attacks: wires act as antennas, particularly with illumination.

Note also that if you're not worried about a determined attacker (I'm talking SIGINT agency level shit, here) with know-how and equipment within a room or two, you'll probably be just fine.

I'd say 9/11 if it's an inside job because it's obviously easier getting close enough to intercept Bluetooth signals inside than outside.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
