First it would have to have a data storage source and some sort of processor to run anything in that data store. If it doesn't have a processor then there would be a requirement for it to be run from your system. It is also most likely that this data storage is volatile, in that it would be cleared when the system is rebooted.Hopefully as you can see the permutations are massive for a keyboard to be infected and run without attracting AV attention.I think that your other topic https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=193808.0 plus this one should give you some confidence in the unlikelihood you could have an infected keyboard.
No clue at what logs you have looked, but in the ones you have provided there is not a single strange thing to see.
