I've tried a lot of the options here, and I will personally be using NohBoard, as it seems to be the best free opensource option at the moment. Here are my thoughts on the options I tried from this thread:

NohBoard -
http://obsproject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=3783
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nohboard/
Pros:
- Free
- Open source
- Has full keyboard layout, functional Alt key (deal maker for me)
- Mouse input layout and mouse direction display
- Options to make your own layout and only include the keys you want
- Customizable colors
Cons:
- Not exaclty a con, but it would be cool if the mouse layout were on a diagram of a mouse, but not a big deal. I think this can probably be accomplished with a customizable layout.
- Have to open up 2 instances of the program (as far as I know) to get the mouse AND keyboard layouts. They have to be in 2 separate windows
EDIT: I just made my own layout that has both keyboard and mouse. No need for 2 instances!

EzKey -
http://twofx.github.io/EZKey/
Pros:
- Free
- Open Source
- Customizable Colors
Cons
- Some keys are missing (Alt key, NumPad, Arrow keys, or Home/End/PgUp/PgDn/Insert/Delete)
- No Mouse input display

Gop-Gop-Goop-Goop
http://www.grumpybread.com/download/gop-gop-goop-goop/
Pros:
- Free
- Open source
- Full keyboard layout
- Customizable colors
- Ability to turn off certain keys if you don't want them to show keypresses
- Mouse diagram and button layout (in one window!)
Cons
- No mouse direction indicator (still awesome though)
- Alt indicator does not work
- No customizable layouts

I just switched to Win 8.1 and this software is the only one I didn't manage to make it works
With OBS and only one monitor, no way to get it renderedn even with the "Native Style of Window"

Anyone managed to make it works w/ win8.1 and 1 monitor please ?

I wrote up a simple keyboard overlay program for streaming on OBS / recording games. Here it is in action:



It is a transparent overlay on the screen.

You can customize the colors of the outline, keys, highlights
Full keyboard Layout (All PF keys, Numpad, etc.)
Customized keyboard layout (Don't want to show the numpad? Take it off)
Ability to change where it is on the screen (Since it's an overlay and not a separate window, this is important.)
5-button mouse supported.

Cons:
Does not show direction of mouse movement (Having problems implementing this)
The return key shows up on the keyboard and numpad (Having issues separating this)

It works on Windows 7 and 8.1 with 1 monitor and OBS streams.

Is this a program anyone that streams would be interested in?

I just made a video showing the program running from start to finish:



Would anyone be interested in Beta Testing it? (I need to clean it up a bit but it wouldn't take too long).
