Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

though this mouse was a little on the small side for me and I had to order the larger sized one from Amazon, which isn't carried by BestBuy, I highly recommend it. I was getting severe wrist pain from using my normal old school mouse and after using this it went away. There is a sizing chart on Amazon for the different sizes of this mouse. I'm guessing if you wear a medium sized glove this would work for you but I where extra large and needed a bigger one. This is still a great product.

Prestige Evoluent VerticalMouse 4 Wireless Mouse: Enjoy lasting comfort while you navigate features on your PC or Mac using this wireless mouse, which provides freedom of motion and features an ergonomic, vertical design with an extended lip to fully support your hand.

I switched to use this mouse few years ago and don't use regular since then. It feels so natural, no twisting bones anymore and hand pain!

Way too costly for general use, if you have a wrist issue and your doctor or physical therapist recommend it, this vertical mouse is nice. It definitely takes some getting used to, and is still (after a month of solid use) is hard to 'drive' for detailed work (like drawings), but great for general mouse use. It would be nice if a major mouse vendor (hint Logitech!) would offer one in their line. Yet another wireless adapter taking up a USB port and more drivers on the computer make for more troubleshooting RF and software collisions.

it is good quality, but it is too large and heavy for me.

Helped me prevent a major carpal tunnel issue. My wrist was hurting a lot with a regular mouse, but after I switched to this more ergonomical design, the pain went completely away. Highly recommend it.

Let's me work without pain in my wrist, so much easier the a traditional mouse.

we have several users here who like the vertical mice. It gives your wrist a more natural position. If one of our users complains about their wrist, I suggest trying one of these.

This product is great if you have pain from repetitive strain. I personally have fibromyalgia and TOS and was in extreme pain from over use and repetitive strain. I saw a big improvement in the first week, and the pain continues to decrease. I will never go back to a standard mouse again!

I've been using a non-bluetooth version of this most for 7 years when I first started feeling a wrist ache and early signs of carpel tunnel. When the wired version broke down and I decided to upgrade to a bluetooth version. I regularly use Windows, Chromebook and iOS and it works seamless on all 3 of my devices. Can't recommend enough - worth the money!

This mouse is the best thing since sliced bread. I was having serious problems with my wrist and arm from being on the computer so much. After doing a fair amount of research I purchased one for the office and it solved all my problems. Once I had one at the office I had to get one for home as well. Trust and believe, you will not be disappointed one bit if you purchase an Evoluent mouse. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this item a 15!

My employer gave me Evolent Vertical Mouse after I started having wrist pain and I stopped having issues while at work. Unfortunately I was still suffering at home with a traditional mouse. After trying some cheaper alternatives I eventually purchased one for home. It took me about a week to get used to the vertical mouse but now I’m hooked.

Easy to set up. Ergonomic features are fantastic. I was issued one by my company for wrist strain. I tried to use my traditional mouse at home but was like trying to write with my left hand (I'm right handed). Worth every penny.

A natural feeling to your hand. Easy to set up. Took a couple of days to get used to using all it"s functions but never going back to the "old" style of mouse.

Have been using this brand for years. Takes a while to get used to but amazing once used to, this along with ergo keyboard completely eliminated pain was feeling from working all day.
