USB device that can send keystrokes?

For some security testing, I am looking for a USB device that can send
pre-programmed key strokes
when plugged-into the USB port. Any suggestions?

I want something that doesn't require a software/script to be loaded
on the computer.

Something along the lines of WiebeTech's MouseJiggler <
http://www.wiebetech.com/products/MouseJiggler.php >, where it just
sends the mouse commands without loading any software.

Or maybe a programmable keyboard that can send keystroke as soon as it
is connected, without requiring any software/script to be loaded.
Obviously this device would require a built-in processor and some
memory.

something like "ghostscript" would fit the bill, no?
 
Nope.

I need a programmable USB device that pretend that it is a keyboard
and send keystrokes.

Should those be pre-programmed sequences of keystrokes, or just random ones?

If those are supposed to be random keystrokes, you could simply modify a
USB keyboard: add a controler for random signals to the keyboard
controler, and it should send random keystrokes.

If you need pre-programmed keystrokes, things would be more tricky.
A friend of mine builds self-made USB devices with microcontrollers.
If you have the know-how, you could do this yourself or, program the
controler to produce keystrokes in a sequential order to use with a
keyboard controller from a USB keyboard.

That aside, I've never heard of something like a keystroke-generator,
that is *not* installed into a keyboard.

(Also, this Mouse-Jiggler-thing seems ridiculously purpose-less)

Yea we used to build these in school for sending keystrokes to Intel
Explorer and 8086 boards. :-) However, I longer have the know how,
equipment or time to build these devices, so I was wondering if there
are any off the shelf device that can do this for me :)

(yea I know I am being lazy....)
