MicroTouch UnMouse Stylus Options
Posted by: Anonymous on 2026-09-09 04:19:39
Heyo,
Recently I got a sealed NOS, MicroTouch UnMouse. I absolutely love it. So far, everything works fine, but the included stylus feels a bit odd? Using my finger is fine, the trackpad is smooth, but the stylus (described in the manual as a "conductive instrument") feels as if it constantly hits dead spots and delays.

My question is, are there any, possibly better, smoother alternatives? Keep in mind, I don't use tablets, so maybe this is normal or maybe I'm just overestimating 80's trackpad technology. Side note, what should I clean the glass surface with? I fear isopropyl would melt something important off. Damp cloth with water?

Thanks!
