Description
The VerticalMouse 4 (Right handed mouse) by Evoluent helps avoids forearm twisting for comfort and good health. The shape is thoughtfully sculpted for uncompromised comfort and easy-to-reach programmable buttons. No finger contortions are needed to operate the buttons. The thumb rest has been reshaped to provide even more comfort over earlier versions. Now featuring two thumb buttons, a new bottom thumb button provides greatly extended functionality when used with the included driver. An extra wide lip along the bottom edge prevents the last finger from rubbing the desk. Pointer speed controls on the side allow convenient adjustment without even releasing your grip from the mouse. Top mounted LEDs show through the chrome thumb rest to indicate selected pointer speed including extra low (XL), low (LO), MD (medium), to high (HI).

I’m fighting early carpal tunnel problems. I bought the Evoluent mouse after returning a Comfi Mouse (scroll wheel dragged, too small, short cord.) I was trying to avoid paying a lot, but gave up, and I don’t regret the high cost one bit. After a few weeks, the “handshake” angle of my hand on the mouse felt completely natural and relaxed. Aches in my wrist and arm are completely gone. After a month, I feel my cursor control is as accurate as with my old standard mouse (but that part does take a while.) The three main buttons take a bit of learning. Left button is normal left click, middle button is double click, and right button is for right click. So, you’re using your ring/pinky fingers for right click functions, instead of your middle finger. Most of the buttons are programmable, but there’s no way to change the middle button to right click (that would have been my preference.) But I’ve adapted. My most common “right click” actions are copy/paste, so I programmed the two thumb buttons for those actions. Super simple software lets you reprogram the buttons quickly, so you can play with it. The scroll wheel is louder than my old mouse, which was almost silent. My husband at his nearby desk easily hears it. But the scroll is smooth and has definite “clicks,” which I like. The buttons have a good click, not too hard or too soft. Biggest surprise was how much I love the variable scroll speed (who knew I needed that?) When browsing long listings of products, I can set the scroll wheel speed high, so a few turns of the wheel shoots me down the page quickly. This saves a lot of unnecessary repetitive scrolling motion for my index finger. If it’s too fast for a text page, I can quickly lower the scroll speed with a few quick clicks in the Evoluent window. The cursor speed is variable too. The backlit blue Evoluent logo others have mentioned doesn’t bother me. I bought the corded version to keep the mouse weight as light as possible. This mouse is way too tall (around 3”) to slide under my sliding keyboard tray, but the cord is a generous length, so I can sit the mouse up on top of my desk before closing the lower keyboard tray. Money well spent (especially if you are dealing with carpal tunnel issues.) I can’t think why I’d ever go back to a standard mouse. If this wears out, I’ll order another immediately. (If you knew what a cheapskate I am, you'd be impressed.)

I work in interior design and do AutoCAD drawing almost 9 hours a day 5 days a week. I began noticing repetitive stress pains about 4 months ago and part of my solution (including fixing my workstation posture and wearing a wrist brace at night) was to switch to this mouse. I was mostly feeling pain in the underside of my wrist and base of thumb of my mousing hand. I've been using this mouse for 3 months and it has definitely helped quite a lot. It was a bit difficult to get used to pointing and clicking accurately at first, but after a week of practice I was back up to my normal work speed (which is fast and furious, part of my problem I'm sure). Even with practice it is a little clumsier to use than a traditional mouse for detail work (in Autocad I constantly have to make very fine adjustments and selections). I find myself gripping it a few different ways throughout the day to keep hold of it and be able to get the work done. But I consider the slightly more clumsy interface a fine tradeoff considering it has relieved my worries about repetitive stress injury. The build quality seems solid enough, and I haven't had any issues with durability yet (but it always sits on my desk--I don't ever throw it in my bag or anything). I still get slight pain, especially after a long day of particularly fast working, but it's not nearly as bad as what I was beginning to feel before with the old traditional mouse, so I feel this is the best I can do short of changing careers. I gave it a 5 because even though it's not a perfect replacement for traditional mousing, it has essentially solved my problem to my expectations, and I'm pleased and would 100% recommend it to anyone else with a similar problem. Worth every cent and more.

I started using this mouse not because of carpal tunnel syndrome, but chronic tennis elbow. My doctor first suggested a wrist brace to try to limit the effects of work (programming) on elbow pain, but that got old in a hurry, so I decided to try a vertical mouse and adjustable keyboard. Positives: It feels quite natural, and takes little time to get used to. The hand position is rotated some 60-70 degrees from horizontal, and this should help with RSI concerns. There is a middle mouse button! I haven't had one of those for ages, but it's great, especially in Linux where "button 3" is the preferred way to do a quick text paste between windows. For most mice, the scroll wheel doubles as the middle button, but it can be difficult to press a wheel without turning it at the same time. This is much easier for me. Sensitivity is adjustable on the mouse itself, in four steps (high, medium, low, extra low). I find that either of the middle settings works okay for me; high is out of control, and extra low makes it hard to get across the screen. So the range of adjustment seems pretty reasonable. I can conceive of situations where I might want to change sensitivity temporarily - say, when doing fine detailed graphics work. This mouse will let you do the adjustment without messing around in the operating system's control panel. Negatives: The mouse body is lightweight plastic, and on a smooth surface the thing moves too easily. Why do I care? Isn't easy movement a good thing? Well, not necessarily. It matters in this case because the buttons are actuated horizontally. I cannot click a button without jiggling the pointer. A mouse pad of the right texture might help here, but what the manufacturer really needs to do is put some inert mass into the mouse body. Or, they should provide a compartment to let the end user add weight "to taste" without having to take the mouse apart and void the warranty. The wireless version of this mouse probably avoids the problem by virtue of containing batteries; keep that in mind when making your choice between them. **LATE EDIT REGARDING MOUSE WEIGHT** More than a year later, with the product well out of warranty, I finally looked into this issue. The bottom plate of the mouse can be detached via 4 screws: two are under the middle product label (feel around for subtle indentations, and stick a small phillips screwdriver through the paper) and the other two are under the front-edge slider pad, which is easily peeled away to expose them. Once the bottom is removed, you can see how much central space you have to work with. My solution was to take a handful of metal hardware (mostly computer case screws, but anything will do if the pieces aren't too big), put them in a plastic bag to prevent disturbing any electrical connections, tucking them into the mouse body, and then reattaching the base. It makes a night and day difference. The added mass makes all movements more positive, less squirrelly. I'm not using a pad, but putting it directly on a hard desktop surface. Because this works so well and is such a simple modification, I'm increasing my review rating to 5 stars. This is now an *excellent* mouse! A tip just for Linux users: Firefox, at least, expects any extra "back/forward" navigation buttons to be reported as numbers 8 and 9. On this mouse they are unconventionally numbered 8 and 10, 9 being reserved for the mouse wheel (scroll-up=4, scroll-down=5, wheel-press=9). Depending on what desktop environment you run, you might have a graphical control for button assignment, but the following command, as part of my X session startup script, fixes it for me by swapping 9 with 10: xinput set-button-map "Kingsis Peripherals Evoluent VerticalMouse 4" 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 9 11 12 13 14
