ShowOff

ShowOff is a lightweight software application developed specifically for helping you view the pushed keys and mouse buttons in a minimalist display. You can deploy it on all Windows versions out there.

The utility is portable which means that you can drop it on pen drives or other portable devices. You can run it directly from the storage device and open it without having to possess administrative privileges.

No installation process is needed in order to access its GUI. A double-click on the executable file does the job. It does not leave entries in your Windows registry so you may get rid of it by deleting the downloaded items.

You are welcomed by a minimalist layout where the pressed keys and buttons are recorded. You cannot find a help manual included in the package. However, you can get an idea about how the program works in a short amount of time.

You can find ShowOff running quietly in the system tray without bothering you with annoying popup messages and other types of notifications. A right-click on its tray icon gives you quick access to the available options.

ShowOff automatically reveals the pressed keys or mouse buttons in a simplistic and small environment. By default, the main window remains on top of other panels, making it really easy for you to monitor the information.

There’s support for several configuration settings. On the downside, you can make the adjustments only via the built INI file so less experienced users may find a bit difficult to set up the entire process. You are allowed to change the font and color of the text, adjust the background color, and change the position of the primary window or drag and drop it in order to move it to the preferred location on the screen.

To sum things up, ShowOff provides nothing more than a simple software solution for helping you check out the pressed keys and mouse buttons on the fly.
