I have a Glidepoint (trackpad only). Never seen this one though.

I've got one of the normal Glidepoint trackpads - very nice thing to use btw! Never seen that version though either. I do have an ADB numeric keypad for PowerBooks though...

I've eyed those off before as possible controllers for a CarMacMP3 project. Ended up with a version from another manufacturer with a trackball instead of the pad.

/edit/ I've also got a couple of the standalone Alps Glidepoint trackpads

I have one on my SE. It came with a driver disk, which of course is not needed. It's just a control panel that lets you adjust a few things. I have my right button send command-w. The track pad is tappable.

My SE doesn't have a pram battery, so the default tablet setting of the mouse works great with this I actually like using it a lot. I got it for an mp3 system as well.

Alps GlidePoints have been sold on eBay UK on a regular basis over the last couple of years. Alps products are good looking and fit in well with the platinum Mac designs. I use mine with my workhorse SE/30 which is parked in a tight corner, making a mouse difficult to use.

Yep, they're great for that. I am not a fan of trackpads, but with the tap-and-hold feature it's very useable and definitely space-saving.... and they don't get dirty or require a mousepad.
