These days you can get PIN-capable card-readers with touchscreens. Some of these models randomize the button layout, which can be interesting to those who rely on muscle memory to type their PIN. Especially given that some shops have the readers physically attached or secured, so you have to type the PIN at an odd angle. Some examples here[1].

The popup was served by the SNAP EBT provider, and it would randomize the PIN number pad. So indeed, you couldn't rely on muscle memory to input your PIN because the number pad changed every time input was requested. It seemed that the mouse was also required for this input, rather than the keyboard.
