I ran into these and thought they would make interesting keypads for people with MO LCDs who were wanting to add keypads with minimal effort.

They appear to be suitable for directly connecting to the keypad header. They're maybe a little small, but I think the first one will fit in a drive bay, so that's a good thing, right?
