Tactile Keypad 4x4

The Tactile Keypad 4x4 is a versatile and compact input device that features 16 individual tactile switches arranged in a 4x4 grid. These tactile switches provide a satisfying, momentary "click" feedback when pressed, ensuring reliable operation in projects requiring precise user input. Each button is momentary, meaning it turns ON when pressed and OFF when released, making it ideal for applications like numeric entry, control systems, or user interfaces.

This module is designed to easily interface with microcontrollers like Arduino or Raspberry Pi. It utilizes 4 row pins and 4 column pins to detect the pressed button by identifying the active row and column. This setup enables efficient identification of each button press without needing individual pins for each switch, which saves space and simplifies wiring in your project. With its grid layout, it can be used for a variety of applications such as creating keypads, game controllers, or control panels.

The Tactile Keypad 4x4 is both durable and easy to implement in a wide range of electronics projects. Whether you're building a custom calculator, input device, or interactive interface, this keypad is a perfect choice for reliable and compact button functionality. Its straightforward design and ease of integration make it a popular solution for hobbyists and professionals alike.
