Microsoft Keyboard Spies on Employees and Family

I wonder whether there’s any direct correlation between our increasing appetite for information in a bid (it would often seem) to place ourselves in the world and the mounting popularity of spying paraphernalia such as this adapted Microsoft Natural Keyboard with a built in hardware keylogger? Or is it that we’re just becoming increasing paranoid and so evermore tuned into the idea that information is indeed power?
We’ve covered a host of spy related gadgets here on TFTS, from hidden cam alarm clocks to the quite brilliant spy tie, but this is the first keylogging keyboard to feature on this site as, whilst there are many forms of keylogging gadgets around this is the first we’ve come across that is wholly undetectable by both anti-virus software and firewalls and so is guaranteed to go undetected by the user you wish to snoop on.
The device accomplishes this by logging key presses within the keyboard unit itself, instead of using software installed on the PC, with each key press being stored in the keyboards 2MB of on-board memory – which, according to the product site, allows for up to 2 million key presses to be logged (the equivalent of ‘several days’ of snooping).
The resulting information is accessed via an application which is password protected and will upload the stored data for your perusal at your discretion thus enabling you to conclusively prove once and for all that your wife did indeed forget to order any sugar whilst shopping for groceries online.
The Keylogging Microsoft Keyboard is a one off available to non-US customers only via Spy Warehouse.
