There are devices such as bar code readers that can be connected to act like a keyboard. So - in principle, I guess your request should be doable, while I don't have a solution at hand.
Does it make sense to connect a keyboard without a screen enabling people control over what they typed in?

syndaemon
syndaemon(1) General Commands Manual syndaemon(1)
NAME
syndaemon - a program that monitors keyboard activity and disables the touchpad when the keyboard is being used.
SYNOPSIS
syndaemon [-i idle-time] [-m poll-inverval] [-d] [-p pid-file] [-t] [-k] [-K] [-R]
DESCRIPTION
Disabling the touchpad while typing avoids unwanted movements of the pointer that could lead to giving focus to the wrong window.
OPTIONS
-i <idle-time>
How many seconds to wait after the last key press before enabling the touchpad. (default is 2.0s).
-m <poll-interval>
How many milliseconds to wait between two polling intervals. If this value is too low, it will cause unnecessary wake-ups. If this
value is too high, some key presses (press and release happen between two intervals) may not be noticed. This switch has no effect
when running with -R. Default is 200ms.
-d Start as a daemon, ie in the background.
-p <pid-file>
Create a pid file with the specified filename. A pid file will only be created if the program is started in daemon mode.
-t Only disable tapping and scrolling, not mouse movements, in response to keyboard activity.
-k Ignore modifier keys when monitoring keyboard activity.
-K Like -k but also ignore Modifier+Key combos.
-R Use the XRecord extension for detecting keyboard activity instead of polling the keyboard state.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
DISPLAY
Specifies the X server to contact.
EXIT CODES
If syndaemon exists with a return code other than 0, the error encountered is as below.
Exit code 1
Invalid commandline argument.
Exit code 2
The connection to the X sever could not be established or no touchpad device could be found.
Exit code 3
The fork into daemon mode failed or the pid file could not be created.
Exit code 4
XRECORD requested but not available or usable on the server.
CAVEATS
It doesn't make much sense to connect to a remote X server, because the daemon will then monitor the remote server for keyboard activity,
but will disable the touchpad on the local machine.
