Evoluent Right Handed Black 2.4 GHZ Wireless Optical VerticalMouse 3

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.

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.

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.

An ordinary horizontal mouse requires your forearm to twist away from its natural position.

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

• Resistance 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.
