Great tutorial. Was able to follow step by step. Thanks much for the ease of following and explaining.

Awesome Tutorial! I'm writing a script to communicate with multiple GPIB devices and needed them all to do things until a key was pressed. Your tutorial was exactly what I was looking for

If non-special keys don't get recorded in Mac. Try going to system preferences > security&privacy > privacy > accessibility, then allow PyCharm(or whatever IDE you are using) to control your computer.

Amazing tutorial, been looking for learning how to make one myself for a while, for educational purposes (of course), I checked your channel Tim and it's great, I'm new youtuber and I make tutorials too, subscribed ✔

thanks man i was just trying to sort with the problem of the pip module. I can't help me out of this hilarious problem. Because I've made a keylogger by my own but every time the import function was going wrong. So, I am very thankful to you and I will never forget ur gesture

PSA: if you create a separate folder to store the keylogger file in....you will need to specify the folder in the script. In the spot where it says with open(“log.txt”, ”a”) as f: If your folder w the text file was named project for example it would be with open(“project/log.txt”, ”a”) as f:

Hi, thanks for a video. Have you ever done a Keylogger on remote server, which is running in userspace (not as root). Because on remote server, almost all keyloggers dont work. (there is no keyboard.).

Awesome video! do you know if the modules downloaded with Python are compatible with Debian based machines? (Raspberry Pi OS)

[taymegh]

Thanks alot dude ! This deserves a sub :)

[somene]

Thanks man, great video! I thought creating a keylogger is way more complicated.

[sneha.tiwari]

Hey, the log file is not storing the keys! help me or give me any source where you code is written.

[keshavraju]

Thanks for the tutorial. Can you give the syntax to get key presses from other accounts?

[ChrispyDude]

Time to get some runescape accounts huehuehue

So I found pynput from you and a specific way to use it, but I know the module can do more. How do we find out how to use it other ways? Like is there a way to block key input? (So you can watch videos without acedental disruption or setting timer to force computer breaks.)

im having issues with pynput and pygame... i created a brand new project and i specially chose python version 3.9 bc when I check the version on my mac terminal it says 3.9.7 and in one of your videos you said in order for 3rd party libraries to work both Pycharm and my mac terminal need to be on the same version. On Pycharm i chose version 3.9 and when i try importing pygame or pynput modules an error pops up. I sent you an email. is there anyway to help guide me through this?
