Well, I am quite sure that this phrase "it may seem that there is no need in" should be correct from the point of view of grammar but ... google produced one(!) result and this result is from a Russian site.
Therefore, I believe this may sound uncommon for an English speaker - please help me correct or improve this phrase.
Thank you all in advance !

Below we will explain the layout of digits and mathematical symbols. It is still an open question if this layout is convenient for the user. The matter is in that, when working with the novel system, the user may input a digit by long keypress on the corresponding key. Therefore, ***it may seem that there is no need in ***an additional layout with digits.

: Yes, "for". You could also say "There appears to be no need for"

: "need in' is wrong. One can be in need of something, but not "there is no need in..." / "Need for" is definitely the correct way to say this.

: but overkill if things like "The matter is in that..." and "input ... by long keypress on the corresponding key" are not put into English too
