Simple keypress count under linux

First check where is your keyboard mounted:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep keyboard

For me its something like (II) evdev: ROCCAT ROCCAT Ryos MK Glow: Configuring as keyboard

Next pipe the output to a file and after count the "words";

In one terminal where 2 is i guess (II) from the cat above :

cat /dev/input/event2 ~/keyboard.txt

And count the keypresses with:

echo $(( $(cat ~/keyboard.txt | wc -c) / 96))
