Keelogger was provided us in white cardboard packet. There are no specifications in the packet, and as far as I know, there is no retail package available. Looking inside the packet does not show anything suprising. There is only the keelogger in foam plastic.

Bundled with the keelogger was only the manual. As said in specifications, the product is driver free and you only need USB mass storage support in order to download the data from the stick.

Theres no text printed in the product to make it harder to know whats the function of the product. It is a good thing. Our model is 2MB model, however there are 512MB and 2 GB models also available.
Testing:
I tested out the USB keelogger by plugging it in my test computer and doing the normal stuff on my computer.

Keelogger has two operating modes – record mode and playback mode (aka flash drive mode). Using the product in record mode is as simple as it can be. Just plug it between your computers USB-connector and your keyboard. Keelogger should start itself automatically and no further actions are needed. If you want to put the keelogger in playback mode or to use it as a flash drive, just simultaneously press “KBS” buttons in your keyboard and the flash drive comes active. 2MB space is more than enough to keep your keyboard types save in the logger. However when the 2MB limit exceeds, no further keystrokes will save to the stick. In the flash drive you find .txt file which has the input of your keyboard and it is easy to read whatever is typed during the time keelogger has been active. Switching back to record mode in windows, just safely remove the usb mass storage device. Please keep in mind that RBmods can’t be held responsible for any legal actions using the product in any use that is forbidden in your country or region. The interesting thing was, that my antivirus software found virus or trojan on the stick while using it in my computer. So Beware!
Conclusion:
Priced in 54€ (80USD), keelogger is quite expensive to be just a toy. However employers can use this product to keep an eye on what their employees do. The product itself is quite handy and unnoticeable. However I can’t see any proper use for this product in home environment. These kind of products are something you buy if you really need one, but you would not buy these just for curiosity.
Pros:
+ Easy to use
+ Small
Cons:
- Price
- Possibly virus infected memory in the keelogger
