Product Information

Relieve wrist and arm pain with the unique ergonomic shape of the Evoluent Vertical Mouse 4. The patented shape supports your hand in a fully upright handshake position that eliminates forearm twisting. This mouse is an ideal option for any computer user, especially those wtih repetitive stress injuries.

The Evoluent VerticalMouse 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 Evoluent Vertical Mouse is designed to encourage a neutral position which is similar to a hand shake. Many people find that this greatly helps with the elimination of wrist pain.

• Improved thumb rest for more comfort
• 2 thumb buttons for extended functionality
