HPSynapticsdriver.dll is probably on antivirus whitelists and signed with a reputable certificate whereas a random keylogger would not.

it's trivial to bypass antivirus by obfuscating the executable with a commercially available packer/obfuscator. not to mention that if you have administrator access (needed to enable the keylogger), you could also disable/uninstall the antivirus, or load a driver (whose access can't be restricted by the antivirus).
