The Evoluent™
VerticalMouse™ 3 Wireless is the advanced third generation of the
revolutionary mouse from the inventor of the handshake grip. Many
users said the VerticalMouse relieved
their wrist and arm pain. |
|
Approved ergonomic
mouse of University of California at Berkeley
The Evoluent
VerticalMouse 2 was evaluated in 2007 by a team at the health
services clinic in UC Berkeley, including medical doctors, physical
therapists, ergonomists, and administrators. It was found to be
comfortable, easily adapted to, and promote a neutral wrist and
forearm posture. It is the only vertical type mouse approved for staff use within UC
Berkeley and for sale in the campus store. |

Actual user comments |
|
Eliminates
arm twisting |
 |
The
patented shape supports your hand in a fully upright handshake position that
eliminates forearm twisting. Many users said earlier models
relieved 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 on 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. |
|
|
|
|
2.4
GHz Wireless |
Resistant to interference. |
|
|
|
|
Ultra
slim receiver |
 |
The compact USB receiver is slim enough to avoid
blocking adjacent ports. |
|
|
|
|
Long
battery life |
3
month estimate battery life under typical use
with non-chargeable AA batteries. The sensor
never sleeps so pointer response is always
instantaneous. |
|
Prevents desk rubbing |
A
small lip on the bottom edge prevents the little
finger from rubbing the desk. |
|
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. |
|
Precision tracking |
A high
quality optical sensor tracks better than many
wireless laser mouses so you don't waste time
chasing the pointer. The 1200 dpi true hardware
resolution moves the pointer more quickly to
reduce hand movements. |
|
|
|
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 - forward.
Middle button - middle click (e.g., for pan and
rotate in CAD programs).
Bottom button - right click.
Thumb button - back. |
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. |
|
| |
▪ Includes driver for
Windows XP Pro, XP Home, and Vista 32 for programming all 5
buttons. No driver for Windows 7 so button functions are
fixed in Win 7. |
|
▪ The driver is not
required. The VerticalMouse 3 still has basic functionality
without it. |
|
▪ Freeware
driver for Windows Vista (32 and 64 bit), XP x64, 2003, and 2000 at
