I have been thinking for a long time that such prosthetic arms should also be able to act as USB HID. e.g. send keystokes "directly" from the nerves - optionally merging with the input from a regular keyboard. And once you have that USB cord from your new arm, you might as well pack some flash storage, 2FA device, etc in there.
