What are the options for this?
I think the G1000+ systems can have a keypad.
Is there anything below that?
The GTNs have airway name entry but the on-screen keypad is not too great, and would be awfully slow to use in turbulence.

I think that's true for the GTN650, but I find the 750 keyboard screen quite easy to use in turbulence. You simply need to get in the habit of anchoring your hand on the bezel.
