DesignREM earlier this week announced a new USB device which records full speed keyboard strokes from a USB keyboard. The KeyPhantom is available now for $199.
The KeyPhantom, according to DesignREM, works by connecting between a computer’s USB port and a USB enabled keyboard. As keystrokes are typed into the attached keyboard, the KeyPhantom records each and every one (up to around two weeks worth of typing) into its flash memory. A user can later retrieve the stored keystrokes by opening a text editor and logging into the device via a command which will bring up a menu of selectable access options.
“Journalists and writers have shown a particularly strong interest – the ability to record the last 3 years of typing in secure flash memory is proving to be an invaluable backup tool.” said Shane Tolmie, managing director of DesignREM.
