The device that comes closest to what I'd like is the NitroKey HSM (and the underlying SmartCard-HSM applet it's based on). It doesn't have any secure PIN pad option that I'm aware of, though. Buying a random USB keyboard from an office supply store would be good enough for me.
The tamper-evident envelope thing was for CA root keys for a DRM system to 'protect' embedded device firmware (read: revenue model) that we implemented for a Customer.
The product line has a 25 year field service life. It was a requirement to be able to issue new intermediate CA certs for that period. We met with a couple large HSM vendors and decided the lock-in risk with the proprietary HSM platforms was too great.
Instead we opted for a key generation and HSM commissioning ceremony modeled after the DNSSEC root key signing ceremony. It was the best way we could come up with to have the key material available for loading onto other HSMs down-the-road.
I guess it turned out to be good idea (so far). I heard the Customer switched HSM in the last couple years.
