There is a utility called showkey. Here's the description:

       showkey prints to standard output either the scan codes or
       the keycode of each key pressed. The program runs until 10
       seconds has elapsed since the last key  press  or  release
       event,  or  until  it  receives  a  suitable  signal, like
       SIGTERM, from another process.

It is part of the kbd package (kbd-0.91.tar.gz).
