Let's talk about hardware wallets.
A hardware wallet is a dedicated signing device. The private key is generated and stored inside the device and is usually never transmitted outside it in plaintext.
One thing that's easy to overlook: malware could alter what appears on your computer screen. The hardware wallet's own screen is the final checkpoint, so always verify the recipient address on the device screen.
Only buy hardware wallets through the brand's official channels. Don't buy devices that have been unsealed or come from an unknown source.
$BTC held for the long term is often stored in a hardware wallet, and transfer signing is done on the device.
