Theoretically would the charachorder obscure keystroke loggers? For example if I type P+I+Z to output "pizza" would a malicious virus record PIZPIZZA or would it only record "pizza"? If it works like I think it does it should record chords + intended words + backspacing over typos as well. Anyone have some insight to this?

@arctic estuary has a tool that demonstrates this very well. It's my understanding that everything would be logged, with the chord input first, then backspaces, then the chord output.

You can check some codes of existing keyloggers like https://github.com/davidbombal/python-keylogger/blob/main/keylogger.py#L52_L53 and https://github.com/CharaChorder/nexus/blob/2fb3c1c1a982a3293729f71bd81d79850cb0763a/src/nexus/Freqlog/Freqlog.py#L118_L120. Actually backspace is easy to handle (just remove one character from recorded string) so they are not affected very likely.
However, chording will surely affect some keyloggers using sound to detect keys. (https://github.com/shoyo/acoustic-keylogger)
