Description
 

The Evoluent™ VerticalMouse™ 3 is the advanced third generation of the revolutionary mouse from the inventor of the handshake grip.

Eliminates arm twisting
  • The patented shape supports your hand in a fully upright handshake position that eliminates forearm twisting. Many users report relief from their hand, wrist, or arm pain. See these actual user comments.
  • An ordinary horizontal mouse requires your forearm to twist away from its natural position.
Familiar grip
  • The grip is the same as an ordinary mouse, just turned sideways into a handshake position. Many users said they got used to it very quickly.
  • The VerticalMouse does not move sideways when clicking with normal force because the thumb naturally opposes the fingers. Pointer control is as accurate as any other good mouse when the pointer speed settings are properly adjusted.
Easy to use buttons
  • All 5 buttons are easily operable without contorting your fingers. The button force is light for easy clicking, but still firm enough to avoid accidental actuation.
Fits different size hands
  • The new shape fits larger hands as well as smaller hands better.
Prevents desk rubbing
  • A small lip on the bottom edge prevents the little finger from rubbing the desk.
High performance tracking
  • An Avago 3080 gaming grade infrared sensor tracks more accurately on many surfaces than most laser sensors. The Rev 2 has a button and indicator light on the bottom for cycling the true optical hardware resolution among 4 settings: 2600, 1800, 1300, and 800 dpi. This makes adjusting pointer speed easier and further improves tracking.
Programmable buttons (XP Pro, XP Home, Vista 32)
  • 5 buttons are each programmable with different functions in different applications. For example, a button can be Double Click in one application and Ctrl in another application.
  • When the driver is not installed, the default functions in Windows are:
    Top button - left click
    Wheel button - middle click
    Middle button - right click
    Bottom button - back
    Thumb button - forward
Special functions (XP Pro, XP Home, Vista 32)
  • Speed toggle - cycle among up to 3 pointer speed settings with a keyboard shortcut or mouse button. For example, a high speed for ordinary tasks, and a slow speed for graphics work.
  • Auto click - automatically perform a single or double click by pausing the pointer. Adjustable time delay for activation.
  • Click lock - press and hold a button momentarily to simulate continued pressing without holding down the button. Adjustable time delay for activation.
  • Break Reminder - visual and/or audio alerts to remind you to take a break.
Repositioning
  • The VerticalMouse 3 can be repositioned without moving the pointer:
    - Slide it without moving the pointer.
    - Tilt it slightly to disable tracking.
Compatibility
  • PC
    - Includes driver for Windows XP Pro, XP Home, and Vista 32 for programming all 5 buttons.
    - The driver is not required. The VerticalMouse 3 still has basic functionality without it.
    - USB only; not compatible with PS2 adapters. May be compatible with some USB KVM switches but it is not guaranteed.
  • Mac
    - 2 buttons and a scroll wheel in OS X 10.4.5 or newer without a driver.
    - USB port.
  • Unix
    - Not compatible.
  • Linux
    - 5 buttons in XFree 4.0.1 or higher and Knoppix Linux 3.9 or higher without a driver: left click (top), right click (middle), middle click (bottom), middle click (wheel), right click (thumb).
    - USB port.

The now famous Vertical Mouse by Evoluent is a truly unique ergonomic computer mouse. Its patented sideways “handshake” design puts the users wrist and arm in the proper ergonomic position. This position prevents arm twisting which is one of the main causes of forearm pain and strain.

It definitely takes some time to get used to using a vertical mouse because it is very different from the standard mouse everyone is accustomed to using at the computer. However, a good majority of the people who try the Evoluent Vertical Mouse for at least a few weeks report increased comfort while mousing and less strain in the arm and wrist areas.

The Evoluent VerticalMouse has come a long way since its debut back in 2002. The original release was an instant hit among ergonomics enthusiasts which led to a slightly improved design released in 2004, labeled the VerticalMouse 2. This ergonomic mouse was black and purple in color and marked the time period where Evoluent really became well-known and people started buying this mouse like crazy. It became so popular that users started to request new colors be available, as well as a version for left-hand mousers which was not yet available.

In 2007 Evoluent released the Vertical Mouse 3 with marked improvement over version 2, including upgraded technology inside the mouse and an improved exterior design now in a silver and black color scheme. Its popularity continued to grow as more and more people tried the mouse and spread the word to their friends and co-workers that it does in fact improve comfort while mousing. Just as important, it helps prevent the onset of serious long-term injuries including repetitive stress injuries (RSI) like carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis.

In 2008 Evoluent released a Wireless model of their famous mouse to further extend their reach into the market. Evoluent’s success is a great motivator to others who may have a great idea for a product that could help people enhance comfort, decrease the chances of injuries, and increase productivity.

Best Ergonomic Mouse I've Tried May 13, 2009
Reviewer: Melissa D. from Long Beach, California  
Hello everyone, I hope this review helps you decide which ergonomic mouse to buy... I had really bad hand pain from using a standard mouse and I even went to my doctor to complain. He recommended I give some ergonomically designed mice a try before thinking about any drastic measures to cure my discomfort.

So I took his advice and went out and bought 3 different mice, because my pain was bad and I needed to make sure I found a good one. I purchased the Evoluent Vertical Mouse, the Zero Tension Mouse, and the Humanscale Switch Mouse. The zero tension and switch mouse were both pretty decent... they felt sturdy and helped some of my discomfort, but the Evoluent mouse really stood out as the winner. It fit my hand the best and just felt the most natural of the 3. After 2 weeks of using it I can barely notice my pain, I mean let's be real its not going to cure me but it really did help my situation. If you're unsure which mouse to buy I highly recommend you give this one a shot.
