Hi there,
Why is a wireless keyboard and mouse not allowed ?
I use a microsoft sculpt ergnomic keyboard, only one I have.
This is wireless, same goes for the aptico trackball.
A wired keyboard/mouse is a strict requirement for RH remote exams.
I suppose its to make the proctors job easier and to ensure additional devices are not connected during your exam. Unfortunately, there is no way around it for now.
Further more the image does not seem to detect my logitech c270, while this is quite a normal webcam.
I have also used the Logitech C270 basic 720p camera for my first exam and it was detected. I do not know if there are different versions of this model but you can try to test it by live booting Fedora 33 and see if its detected (The remote exam image is based on Fedora 33).
A warning about this camera model, During my exam, the proctors could not read the ID for verification and it was blurry and we had to spend a while to get that sorted. I eventually moved to a better webcamera for future exams.
Here is a page where other testers have shared their hardware details - https://learn.redhat.com/t5/General/RedHat-Remote-Exam-supported-hardware-cameras-mice-keyboards/m-p...
Another question can I use a headset for communication, or is a headset not allowed at all ?
(And if it's not allowed how am I to hear the proctor ask anything?)
Headsets are not needed for communication. The proctor will communicate with you via a chat applet within the exam environment.
Hope that helps and Good luck with your exam!
