A sturdy 4×4 matrix keypad with 16 buttons, providing a durable tactile input option for microcontroller projects. This hard-button keypad offers a more robust feel compared to membrane keypads, making it well-suited for frequently used interfaces.
The keypad uses a standard 8-pin matrix layout — four row pins followed by four column pins (left to right). It works with the popular Arduino Keypad library and is compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers.
Key Features
- 16 Hard-Button Keys – 4×4 matrix layout (0–9, A–D, *, #)
- 8-Pin Interface – 4 row pins + 4 column pins for simple matrix scanning
- Durable Construction – Sturdier hard-button design for frequent use
- Wide Compatibility – Works with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and other microcontrollers
Ideal For
- PIN code entry and access control
- Menu navigation interfaces
- Calculator and data entry projects
- Control panels and interactive builds
Package Contents
- 1× 4×4 Matrix Keypad

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- ESP32
- ESP32 is a family of low-cost microcontroller chips and modules from Espressif with built-in WiFi and Bluetooth. They support programmable firmware and over-the-air updates, and are commonly programmed with toolchains such as the Arduino core and ESP-IDF.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
