My standard interface is a finicky touchpad. Has been for ~30 years & half a dozen microwaves.

This is one that I've bought this year: http://www.elektrogeraete-co.de/bilder/produkte/gross/434738...

Not a crappy brand, a mid-range product I think. Costs around 180 EUR here.

That's gorgeous. It would be laughed off the market here in the US. Where can I buy one?

It's this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gorenje-MO-4250-CLI/dp/B00FMYZME8

I have trouble finding US shops that have it, maybe it's Europe-only brand, but hope you have better luck!

Really? Every single microwave I saw in the UK is like this one:

One knob for time, the other for power. Done.

I've not seen one like that in the US since the 80s. They all look like this:
