Evoluent Vertical Mouse 3

Product Information

Mouse Features

• Evoluent Vertical Mouse 3 is designed to relieve wrist and arm discomfort.
• An ideal mouse for any computer user, especially those with repetitive stress injuries.
• Easy to use, with programmable buttons
• Comfortably fits different size hands
• Small lip on bottom edge prevents the little finger from rubbing the desk.
• Ultra-fast response reduces hand movements.
• Visual and/or audio alerts remind you to take a break.
• Eliminates unnatural arm twisting.
• 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. (For XP Pro, XP Home, Vista 32)
• The new shape fits larger hands as well as smaller hands better.

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 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.
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.

Special Funtions - (For 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.

• Tilt it slight to disable tracking
• Slide it without moving the pointer
