This uses the terminal's built-in properties for read timeouts:
The terminal waits for multiple keystrokes yet times out quickly, and no loop is required. I can't type fast enough to get more than one letter in, but if I paste something to the terminal it gets the whole thing.
You still have to use dd, not the read builtin, because read messes with the terminal device too, undoing all the fancy settings you've been trying to arrange.
