I am planning a screencast and would prefer to use PuTTY from my Windows 7 (x64) box. However, I want the audience to see what keys I am pressing on screen.

For Linux there are screenkey or key-mon, but what can I use on Windows? I don't care if it is shareware, but FLOSS would still be preferred.

NB: this is not about the best program, it is asking for any such program as I haven't been able to find one even after putting considerable effort into the search. This is also not about software to record the screen contents in any way.

Meanwhile I also found KeyJedi, but the program won't show just any key presses. It only shows particular ones (e.g. with Alt and Ctrl) so it doesn't solve the problem.

This script shows a mock keyboard which will highlight the key as they're pressed. This is a compiled script that will display what key are being pressed. Both should cover your need. FYI, I found them using 'autohotkey show pressed key' since I remembered autohotkey sample showing the first script. Turns out googling 'show pressed key' will do the trick too.
