>I know there wasn't a standard at the time aside from 1 button 1 stick, but why on earth would anybody think a numeric keypad+extra buttons was a good idea? Even if it only uses the buttons it looks pretty uncomfortable to use

Numeric keypads were the norm. They were always weird to me too. I had the Star Raiders 2600 numeric keypad when I was a kid. The only game it ever worked with was Star Raiders. It's interesting that even the Jaguar had one. But given the limited buttons on that gamepad, I'm sure the numeric keypad was used frequently.

I remember the Touch Pad controller that came with this game.
