I found this interesting AT keypad from Key Tronic. Its layout is unusual. It has a somewhat standard numeric cluster plus dedicated navigation keys. In addition, there is a modifier key, Fn, that generates function key scan codes when used in combination with the numeric keys, i.e. F1, F2, etc. It also has a pass through port so that it can be connected in series with a keyboard.
I have a better description, more photos and keymap in the Wiki

Very nice, don't think I've ever seen one like it before.

Very nice find indeed, didn't know there were any foam and foil keypads. So is this the tactile one then? Thanks for contributing to the wiki btw :) .

Cool little PCB too, Key Tronic F&F boards are good for that if nothing else ;) .

It a tiny bit tactile. The rubber dome does contribute a subtle buckling tactile point, but its very soft and very high. The feeling is a bit better than some Key Tronic boards I have tried. Its not nearly as bad at the bottom. But then again, the foam is in pretty good shape.

Its a sturdy little thing. I wish I could find a some female DIN-5-180 connectors like the one this thing uses that didn't cost a fortune.

I imaged that key tronic foam and foil could have the numeric pad if it possible.
That's a good news. I love the numeric pad indeed.
Thanks to share.
