You don't need any hardware. There are software based keystroke loggers - no physical clue to the end user. Scary is it not?
On Linux there is LKL @ http://sourceforge.net/projects/lkl/ <quote> LKL is a userspace keylogger that runs under Linux on the x86 arch. LKL sniffs and logs everything that passes through the hardware keyboard port (0x60). It translates keycodes to ASCII with a keymap file. </quote>
Similar software available on Windows platform as well.
