How can I detect a keylogger keyboard?

About this question

I recently got an USB keyboard. I want to investigate if the microcontroller of the keyboard may host a keylogger and how it could interact with a Windows OS. My understanding is that, once Windows recognizes the USB device, it will get the appropriate driver from a secure Microsoft DB, so even if it is recording the key strokes, it cannot run by itself any SW to send them anywhere. I'm leaving aside the possibility of having a SW keylogger.

Is it possible that a USB keyboard could host a keylogger and that Windows could give it control to run a process to send the information to an address?
