The Alps Desktop GlidePoint with Adjustable Base is a touchpad/trackpad input device that is compatible with DOS, and included enhanced software for Windows 3.1 and Windows 1995.

In 1994 Cirque introduced the first widely available touchpad, GlidePoint. Trackpad technology was becoming more common in laptops in the 1990s, and Cirque's technology was used by a number of companies including Apple and Sharp. The GlidePoint technology was licensed to Alps Electric, who launched touchpad products such as this one. In 2003 Cirque became a wholly owned subsidiary of Alps Electric.

This early example of Cirque's Technology uses field-distortion sensing, a capacitance-sensing technology. Two layers of electrical conductors, arranged in a grid, generate an electrical field over the GlidePoint's surface. The user's fingertip distorts the field, and the GlidePoint determines the exact location of the user's fingertip by sensing the strength of the distortion at each conductor.
