|
| Relieved Wrist
and Arm Pain |
|
|
The Evoluent™
VerticalMouse™ 3 is the advanced third generation of the
revolutionary mouse from the inventor of the handshake grip.
Many users said earlier models 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. |

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 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.
|
| 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. |
| Prevents desk rubbing |
A small lip on the bottom edge prevents the
little finger from rubbing the
desk. |
| High performance tracking |
 |
An Avago 3080 gaming grade infrared
sensor tracks more accurately on many surfaces than most laser
sensors. The Rev 2 has a button and indicator light on the
bottom for cycling the true optical hardware resolution among
4 settings: 2600, 1800, 1300, and 800 dpi. This makes
adjusting pointer speed easier and further improves tracking.

|
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 - .middle click (e.g., for pan
and rotate in CAD programs).
Middle button - right
click.
Bottom button - back.
Thumb button -
forward. |
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. |
