Choosing a keypad for a home security system often means weighing how it connects to your existing alarm setup against the features you'll use every day. The eufy Keypad Home Security System and the Ring Keypad 2nd Gen take different approaches: the eufy costs $25.49 and comes certified refurbished with a 180-day battery and Home/Away/Off modes, while the Ring costs $19.89 as an open-box wireless keypad designed for Ring Alarm.
Quick Verdict
The eufy Keypad is the stronger choice for eufy users who want flexible modes and fewer battery changes, thanks to its 180-day battery and custom modes through the eufy Security App. The Ring Keypad 2nd Gen is the lower-priced pick for existing Ring Alarm owners who want a wireless keypad and don't mind a little cosmetic wear from its open-box condition.

Product Notes
eufy Keypad Home Security System
This keypad acts as a PIN pad for your eufy Security system, arming or disarming devices connected to the HomeBase. The 180-day battery keeps it running for months, and switching between Home, Away, and Off modes is straightforward. A 30-second delay when moving between Home and Away gives you time to head out the door without setting off the alarm. You can also set up custom modes in the eufy Security App, choosing which sensors stay on or off and whether the keypad arms or disarms. Just remember that it requires the eufy Security HomeBase, and the unit is certified refurbished in white. You'll get the keypad and user manual in the box. Screw-in and self-adhesive installation options make mounting flexible.
Ring Keypad 2nd Gen
The Ring Keypad 2nd Gen is a wireless keypad built for Ring Alarm systems. At $19.89, it's the lower-priced choice, but it's an open-box item - it works perfectly and still has its plastic wrapper, but you may see scratches, scuffs, or other cosmetic wear from bulk packaging. The keypad is for indoor use only and connects wirelessly to your Ring Alarm, giving you a quick way to enter an alarm code. It comes in white and includes an alarm item. If you're already using Ring Alarm, this is a less expensive way to add a keypad without paying full price. Just be aware that the open-box condition means the appearance may vary slightly from unit to unit.
Final Choice by Use Case
- Choose the eufy Keypad if you're building a eufy Security system, want long battery life, and need flexible Home/Away/Off modes or custom modes through the app.
- Choose the Ring Keypad 2nd Gen if you have a Ring Alarm system, want the lower price, and can accept an open-box keypad with possible scuffs.
