Apparently this is legal. Though I can't think of a single reason you'd 
want to buy one other than to do illegal stuff...

Spy on your kids,
Gather evidence on that employee that's been divulging company secrets.

Two examples of "legitimate" uses.

I'd go with Mike's example of catching someone stealing intellectual 
property.  I'd love to be able to put something like this on remote exam 
hosts - would help me know for certain that they're not using Internet 
resources for their closed-book exam.

  I think it would be cheaper to simply use a software keylogger.  Kids
and most employees won't be none the wiser, and they won't get suspicious
if they happen to look at the keyboard connection plug.

But a software keylogger might be less admissible in court...though I 
don't know why.
