NIB Honeywell Micro Switch numeric keypad, $18.50 shipped

HONEYWELL PX1P16K30A1B-002 MICRO SWITCH KEYPAD PX SEALED NUMERIC KEYBOARD 8526 0

Dunno what kind of switches it has (Hall Effect? magnetic reed? rubber dome?) or how much it's worth to anyone—but it's NIB, and there are 8 available (as of this writing), so you can stock up if you wish at $18.50 each, shipped (U.S.).

Almost sure these are spring over membrane.

Here's a photo album of the keypad by HaaTa: https://www.flickr.com/photos/triplehaata/sets/72157660003751663

He describes them as "membrane contact switches".

I doubted they were anything exotic, switch-wise, since they're enclosed in rubber. But they have a cool look, and NIB under $20, so I thought someone might find them interesting.

If I had one, I'd make a wall-mount box for it and wire it up with LEDs so its sole purpose was to light whichever key was pressed. It'd make about as much sense as most things these days!

Oh yeah, one of those numpad code panels like in a James Bond film! :D

Right. The important thing is what it does when you press it, not what it actually controls, if anything.
