Product Description

The Evoluent VerticalMouse 3 Wireless is a major advance in mouse evolution!

• Its patented shape supports your hand in a relaxed handshake position that eliminates forearm twisting.
• The mouse remains stable when pressing buttons because the thumb naturally opposes the finger movements.
• The wireless transmitter uses a 2.4 GHz radio frequency to ensure minimal interference.
• Two AA batteries (non-chargeable) can power the mouse for up to 3 months of regular usage.
• More intuitive / less of a learning curve than central pointing devices or touchpads.
• Compare all Evoluent vertical mice

Ergonomic Benefits

• An ordinary horizontal mouse causes your forearm to twist away from its natural position, which can reduce blood flow, put muscles in awkward positions and increase the rate of fatigue. For many, this can result in discomfort and pain while mousing.
• The design of the Evoluent VerticalMouse improves comfort and control when mousing, with a patented shape that supports your hand in a relaxed handshake position, and provides a notch for your thumb to rest in. This innovative design eliminates forearm twisting and minimizes the effort required to use the mouse.
• You use the same familiar grip as with an ordinary mouse, just turned sideways, and the buttons are operated by the same fingers. That's why there is virtually no retraining necessary.
• The mouse does not unintentionally move sideways when clicking with normal force because the thumb naturally opposes the finger movements.
• Pointer control is as accurate as any other high-quality mouse.

VerticalMouse 3

Features

• Wireless Transmitter/Receiver
• The wireless transmitter and receiver do not detract from your mousing abilities, since the 2.4 GHz radio frequency used allows minimal interference between transmitter and receiver (with 30' range), and the receiver itself (USB) is slim and compact, avoiding blocking adjacent ports.
• Long battery life
• The two AA batteries required to operate the wireless mouse will last up to 3 months of regular usage. The sensor never sleeps so pointer response is always instantaneous.
• Relaxed Handshake Position
• The ergomically contoured shape supports your hand in a natural handshake position that eliminates forearm twisting. You use the same familiar grip as with an ordinary mouse, but in a vertical orientation, so almost no retraining is needed. Clicking the mouse buttons does not result in unwanted movement because your thumb naturally opposes your finger movements.
• Contoured and Textured
• The contoured black portion of the body where you hold the mouse has a polyurethane coating, allowing you to have complete control of the mouse just by resting your hand on it — practically eliminating the need to grip the mouse.
• Light Tactile Buttons
• The buttons on the VerticalMouse take about half the force of traditional mice to click, so your fingers won't get tired with all the clicking required in today's computer applications. The button force is light for easy clicking, but still firm enough to avoid accidental actuation.
• Optical Scroll Wheel
• The vertical scroll wheel is optical, providing improved reliability and quiet, smooth operation. Detents provide useful tactile feedback when scrolling.
• 5 Buttons
• The VerticalMouse provides a total of 5 buttons. A thumb operated button and 3 finger operated buttons are provided. Also, the scroll wheel provides a fourth button at your fingertips.
• 1200 DPI Optical Resolution
• 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.
• Finger Flange
• A small ledge along the bottom right edge of the mouse prevents your little finger from dragging on the work surface.
• Programmable Buttons
• Using the latest driver, all 5 buttons are programmable to many different functions. This allows you to customize and optimize your mouse, speeding up common tasks with a single click. Some of the more commonly used programmable button features are described below. Also, you can create customized button programming for different applications so that depending on which application is active, your mouse can perform different preset programmable functions (Note: Button 1, normally left click, cannot be reprogrammed with 2006 or older drivers.)
• Speed Toggle
• Cycle through as many as 3 pointer speed settings with a keyboard shortcut or mouse button. For example, use a high speed for moving between monitors, a medium speed for ordinary tasks and a slow speed for graphics work.
• Auto Click
• Automatically perform a single or double click by pausing the pointer. The time delay before activation is adjustable.
• Click Lock (or Drag Lock)
• Press and hold a button momentarily to simulate continued pressing without holding down the button. The time delay before activation is adjustable.
• Break Reminder
• Set up visual and/or audio alerts to remind you to take a break.
