Thanks ... updated entry.

QiPress broke into two versions so ours is now QiPress Lite

• 1) Display any key pressed on keyboard, including standard, toggles (Num, Caps, Scroll lock), mouse-buttons, modifiers (Win, Ctrl, Shift, Alt) and more, deactivate/activate keys of your choice.
  2) Portable, works out of a removable drive on any Windows system
  3) Easy drag to position, click-through
  4) Set display style: background and text color, size, transparency
  5) Multiple branding text to display your website, company's name or your name
  6) Count keystrokes with built-in QiMeter, useful to know if you are overdoing keyboard usage.

The pro version has some fancy extras so at least at first glance this is far from crippleware.

An alternative to QiPress that shows keypresses live: Kling

Claims portability (untested), open source

Another keyboard monitor that's literally "Yet Another Key Displayer"

Looks good and open source.

Status: Untested. Specifically lists an installer so unlikely to be portable.
