Prestige - Evoluent VerticalMouse 4 Wireless Laser Mouse - Wireless - Black

Im a designer and I use the vertical mouse since 2010, it is a huge difference with other mouse, I can program buttons, and my wrist is relax and flows with the movement.

Here's the deal. I've been working with computers for the past 20 years, and due to repetitive motion and bad ergonomics...I have bouts of metacarpal tunnel syndrome. Lately it started acting up again, so I took some reward certs and got a wireless Evoluent mouse. I had one years ago, while in California, but it was wired and it would get sweaty. this one is new & improved, glad to say. works like a charm, doesn't strain my hand or wrist. It's easily programmable, don't get sweaty, AND...on the bottom the base curves out just enough for your little finger to rest on. Despite the size and shape, I find that it isn't problematic moving the Evoluent mouse. (I still use a mouse pad but that's another story.) My one gripe is the price. When I went to make a purchase it was $106. Lucky me, I had $50 in Rewards certificates so it wasn't so bad. i understand the economics of it---a useful product for a smaller segment of the market--but eliminating the wired version and just selling the wireless would allow them to sell at a lower price. Just saying!

Totally love this product. I work a desk job and this vertically shaped mouse drastically reduced my wrist strain. It also comes with an extra side/floor piece that prevents your side pinky from rubbing against the table/pad and it really makes all the difference compared to other vertical mouse products out there. There are other features that this mouse has that I appreciate, such as the back/forward thumb buttons, which can come in handy if you work with lots of web pages. You can also adjust the speed of the cursor from the mouse itself (rather than going into the control panel settings every time you want to chage it). Best of all.. if you install the driver (free from the company website) you can customize all of buttons to your liking -- the driver is also needed if you want the bottom thumb button to have a function. I would highly recommend this item. Personally, it was a health investment that turned into something more. You really get what you pay for! PS. They also sell left-handed versions! :)

I purchased this fairly expensive mouse to help with one of my co-workers with her carpal tunnel issues. Setting up the mouse was fairly simple. I just plugged in the USB dongle and her windows machine auto installed the drivers. There is also software made by the manufacturer that you can easily download from their website, which gives you the ability to program the mouse buttons for different clicks and tasks. The physical design was nice and was much more comfortable than using a horizontal mouse. Mouse performance was unaffected by the design and pointing is precise. It definitely has a different feel than a traditional mouse, but my co-worker says her wrist issues are benefiting from the ergonomic design.

I work in an office and the mouse is like my hand almost. I had a standard flat type mouse and I was really getting cramps and spams in my wrist. I wanted to try and see how the ergonomic mouse will differ, and oh, differ it did! My wrist pain is %90 gone, I'm not saying it'll be gone fully, because you're still overworking your hand and wrist by even holding a mouse for hours but it is at least at a much more anatomically natural stance. On top, it has a lot of buttons where you can program for cut, copy, paste, refresh, calculator etc... And there's even another software, which is by a developer, that can give much deeper button configuration option. Only one down side is that the it's not super responsive to small movements, it might need more hand travel than you'd expect when working in a super detailed area, but for regular use, it's more than capable to satisfact majority of the people. Overall, it'll prevent me from getting carpal tunnel and I don't need to stretch my wrist every hour.
