I had a couple including one USB one that I later modified to use to scan regular bar codes.

I pulled up Wikipedia to look up who created them, and apparently he changed his name after they failed. He was also on Curse of Oak Island searching for gold and was involved in ballot shenanigans in the 2020 US presidential election where he was notable for supposedly inventing a machine to find bamboo fibers on ballots.

The CueCat was also discontinued when it was found to store user details on a public facing portion of their webpage and the company did nothing to fix it except offer a coupon to RadioShack.

It was a horrendously run company which made a problem that solved "typing" for people who wanted to know about a product they have in hand already. CueCat was beyond stupid.
