MicroTouch UnMouse touchpad

I was flipping through a copy of 5/1991 MacWorld the other day and came across this ad:

UnMouse (Microtouch)
The UnMouse does everything a mouse can—only faster, easier, and in less space. To move the cursor, simply slide your finger over the glass surface. To make a selection merely press down. The UnMouse also serves as an extended keyboard. Tap the large red button and you have a Power Keypad with 16 keys instantly available to execute macros (60 in advanced mode). With its one million touch points the UnMouse also performs as a small graphics tablet.
$189

In Bill Buxton's collection with brochure [PDF].

…and here's an album from someone else who's had one:



Looks pretty sweet imho.

While I like the idea, this probably has most of the features for ... $5.

Mac operating systems before X were considerably different than today's macOS and the UnMouse ran under System Software 6. If you're into vintage computing, this would probably work OK. The last Mac to use ADB, though, was made in 1999.
