I have seen keyloggers that look just like a bigger version of a PS/2 connector. Take a look at this:

but I was under the impression that on a desktop, one hides the "hardware" behind the PC (or under the keyboard, or someplace) so that it can do the logging...and then it gets removed later. I don't see how that works on a laptop, assuming you keep all the ports visible and don't connect it to anything else. If there is some other way to do it via hardware, I'd like to know.
