Unlikely. They put a fake keyboard on their most recent Atari 400 despite many 400 games requiring a keyboard.
Comment on Atari announces the 7800 Plus console coming this winter

The 7800 had a controller with a keypad used for many games.
Is that gone entirely?
Who am I kidding, I wouldn’t have bought one anyway, but it was my first console.

As another commenter pointed out, I was thinking of the 5200. But yeah, I was also doubtful.

You’re thinking of the 5200, which had the keypad and analog sticks that didn’t auto-center.
The 7800 controllers were roughly the same form factor, but were digital and only had two buttons, but given the weird history and struggling Atari, many games didn’t even use the second. I think the last models shipped in Europe may have even had a gamepad.

Ah, you’re right! Brain failure. Thank you.
