The VerticalMouse 4 (Wired Left-Hand) from Evoluent offers a new twist on the classic computer mouse: one that keeps your hand vertically in a “handshake” position while you’re pointing, clicking and scrolling. That means your arm sits neutrally without twisting, which is intended to afford extra ergonomic comfort during extended sessions.
The shape of the mouse is sculpted for superior ergonomics, and the programmable buttons are easy to reach. Pointer speed controls on the side allow convenient adjustment of the laser sensor without releasing your hold on the mouse. There’s also a thumb rest, which has been reshaped from earlier versions to offer added comfort. Top-mounted LEDs show through the chrome thumb rest to indicate one of the four selectable pointer speeds (extra low, low, medium and high).
Another feature that sets this mouse apart from the crowd is its lighted Evoluent logo, which turns off when the mouse is in sleep mode to save battery power on your computer. An extra-wide lip along the bottom edge prevents your last finger from rubbing the desk. Provided along with the mouse is a driver; Evoluent Mouse Manager for Windows let you program six buttons and extend the functionality of the bottom thumb button. This mouse has been tested to work with Windows, Mac and Linux based computers. Simply connect it using an available USB port.

In terms of comfort and ergonomic design, this vertical mouse is absolutely outstanding. However I was quite disappointed that the drivers for Mac OS are so out of date that it basically only functions as a two button mouse, instead of the six customizable buttons that it ought to have. It’s probably fine for Windows, but for a Mac using anything later than OS 10.13, forget about it.

I have intermittent wrist soreness, and using this vertical mouse is very helpful. I love being able to program the buttons for the functions I use most frequently. Great produce.

If you have wrist or arm pain from excessive computer/mouse work, I strongly suggest you give this a try. I’ve been using a version of this exact mouse for 15 years now. It really works. It can’t magically un-do long-term damage, but it can ease your pain and stop the terrible ergonomics a regular/traditional mouse causes. If you really want to go all-the-way, add a Goldtouch split keyboard as well, for the ultimate ergonomic computer set up. (the keyboard only applies if you can touch-type), but mouse will work for anyone. It’s worth the investment, I promise.

On my 2nd one; 1st lasted over 8 years. (Also have a right-handed one.) Got my first one around the same time as getting a Kinesis Freestyle keyboard, and this mouse took longer to acclimate to. It’s not just that it’s vertical mouse, it’s a different shape. Usable initially, but comfortable in a few days … so much so, that I had to get one for my work computer. Not convinced that it would be helpful? Hold out your mouse arm, straight away from your body, and rotate it till your hand is in position to use a normal mouse. Now rotate that same arm so the thumb is in the highest position of any digit. Which position is more comfortable? Extra buttons: Top button is for left clicks, middle for right clicks, bottom button is for double left clicks. Thumb controls forward & reverse web page navigation. And the scroll wheel displays the desktop. Thought these extra buttons were gimmicks, but now I cannot live without them.

This is a fantastic mouse if your hand starts to go numb using a regular mouse. I’ve got one at work, and it solves the problem, so I got one for home. I used to have the joystick kind, but it was awkward and clunky. This one is much easier to use!

This is the second Evoluent mouse I have owned. They are the most comfortable truly ergonomic mouse on the market. I have tried several. As an architect I use a lot of design softwares that require a high level of mouse control, not unlike gaming. This mouse saved me from Carpal Tunnel syndrome after a string of long deadlines. It’s expensive, but just as worth it as a truly comfortable desk chair. I highly recommend this for daily use.

Once I got this mouse, all the pain in my right arm and wrist went completely away. I had the bluetooth version of this first, but it kept loosing the connection through out the day, so I tried this wifi version and it works flawlessly. Just be aware that the software that comes with it doesn’t work on the new Mac operating systems, but you can get USB Overdrive that will allow you to set up all the preferences for the buttons.

Looks weird but is ergonomically functional! Gf has been using it for a couple of weeks and her carpal tunnel issues are not bothering her.
