EvoluentLeft Handed Vertical Mouse 4 Ergonomic Mouse

This is the second of these that I have purchased. It was a game changer for me in wrist comfort working long hours at the PC. My first one of these is still going strong after over 10 years too - I'm only buying a second because we now have a second PC in the house. The price may seem steep but these things last forever it seems, and are exceptionally comfortable to use. Highly recommended.

I was suggested this mouse several years ago when hurt my shoulder and my work desk setup had to be adjusted to support this. I had issues extending my shoulder to the right so I was encouraged to work with a wireless keyboard with a floating number pad, and the Evoluent mouse. It worked very well for many years and I was very happy with it.Since the COVID lock down, I have been working from home and purchased the small version of this mouse. It took me a few days to get re-acquainted with the feel and usage but once back into it - it has been really comfortable.My glove size is 7.5 so I border small/normal size according to the guidance. I prefer the smaller one as it fits my calm comfortably and I am a bit more nimble with it. The thumb rest has a smooth feel to it as well which I prefer. I went back to the normal size one and whilst it is fine, I prefer the smaller size where possible. The purple colour was also really nice - I know it has not impact on the usage but i love seeing it!The programable buttons are also very handy and easy to setup. We have this on our iMac installed the accompanying software to ensure additional buttons can be programmed.

I have severe nerve damage due to carpal tunnel because I used a computer mouse for over 25 yrs non stop until my left hand could take it no more. I was left handed but forced to use my right hand. I will never use another normal mouse again.I am a avid mmorpg gamer and worried this would not work with the games such as rift, neverwinter, everquest 2 online games. I tell you it works perfectly for me.I had no learning curve, all I did was download the drivers to use more of the buttons. The small fits my hand perfectly I wear a size 7 USA size glove. The thumb rest is so comfortable,buttons easily reached, along with the scroll wheel. I am giving 5 stars with my gratitude because of this mouse I can play my games again and use a mouse for work as long as the mouse is evoluent.One word of warning the vertical mouse is large so do not think you can use a small mouse mat. I am back on amazon looking for a large hard surface mouse pad. I bought the kennsington wave that has red and black gel wrist rest. The pad is awesome and the mouse glides across the surface, but the problem is the surface is to small.If someone could tell me which Mousepad they recommend with this that has a large surface I would appreciate it.I am buying another evoluent today that is wireless, and one for my husband that is larger. Thank You again for in my opinion a perfect beautiful vertical mouse. One suggestion you only made a colored one in purple but I would also like to see the wireless come in different colors and sizes. I am going to try and use the left handed one with my left hand to see if I can use the hand again so I bought the left handed grey one even though I find the color boring. I love the red lights for dpi settings and also green logo. Keep up the great work and thank you again

This is the second Evoluent mouse I`ve purchased. Used one for a couple months at work and then bought the second one for home. After a few years of pain in my right wrist finally this mouse does the job. It is pretty good for everyday use and keeps the arm in a relaxed position - much less stress and strain than other mice I`ve tried - Intellimouse 3.0, Logitech MX-1100. After the first day of using it carefully I noticed improvements - pain had minimized and wrist was still OK in the afternoon. After one week I noticed that pain still can reoccur if I get tired and start moving the mouse using wrist instead of whole hand it was designed. Wrist has to remain still and fixed. After one month I noticed that the joint between thumb and palm is hurting a little after I`ve spent hours leaning that place on top of mouse - the second problem when you get tired and start using the mouse in an easier but incorrect and non-ergonomic way. The good: *) It keeps palm in a vertical position thus relieving and almost eliminating pain in wrist *) It works via USB cable so is pretty lightweight and does not put too much stress on the wrist *) The residual on the outside of it can be easily cleaned and I find coating to be very good for everyday use. *) The driver utility is good for assigning custom actions to buttons - like "Ctrl+W", "Ctrl+Tab" and others. Drivers are very stable on Windows. *) nobody messes with my workstation at work - people get very confused when sitting in front of such fancy mouse and Microsoft Ergo 4000 keyboard with almost blank keys :) The bad: *) The driver often goes crazy on my Mac ( Macbook Air ~2010 year ), causing 100% CPU usage by "EvoluentAgent" and I can watch the temperature my Mac going all the way up till the boiling point (100*C, ~212*F) where it reboots and remains terribly hot. Otherwise the driver works good - except this overheating thing. It happens even when mouse is not plugged in. It should be fixed in order to use this mouse on Mac with customized buttons. Once "EvoluentAgent" is killed, everything goes good right away, the temperature drops. Uninstalled the Mac driver instantly after the second overheating to avoid any permanent damage. *) The button on top, right next to thumb gets pressed once in a while when grabbing the mouse. It should be more like "Logitech MX-1100"-style - a little smaller and harder to press. The same with the lowest button next to pinky - a little annoying while learning the correct way to grab a mouse. The neutral: *) Initially I was surprised to find out that the part next to pinky is actually the 3rd button. Didn`t expect that. It can be assigned a keystroke like "Ctrl+Tab" but it took a while to accept that this part is a button instead of a hard surface.Summing up the points I give this mouse 4 stars out of 5 - it is very good and almost eliminates pain in wrist when used correctly.This is the best ergonomic mouse I`ve tried. If you can cope with buggy Mac drivers and easy-to-click buttons then try a vertical mouse - for me it is very good.

Image makes it look like you're buying a white mouse but it's black. Had to go through the hassle of returning it.

Da quando sono stato operato al polso destro, lo uso sempre con ottimi risultati. Bisogna farci un po' la mano, ma poi risulta assolutamente pratico. Non tornerei ad un mouse orizzontale.

Bra ergonomi!

This mouse is for me comfortable to hold in my small hand. Unfortunately it doesn’t work with my macbook due to latest security updates.
