Product Description
Product Description
The VerticalMouse 4 (Right handed mouse wireless) by Evoluent helps avoids forearm twisting for comfort and good health. The shape is thoughtfully sculpted for uncompromised comfort and easy-to-reach programmable buttons. No finger contortions are needed to operate the buttons. The thumb rest has been reshaped to provide even more comfort over earlier versions. Now featuring two thumb buttons, a new bottom thumb button provides greatly extended functionality when used with the included driver. An extra wide lip along the bottom edge prevents the last finger from rubbing the desk. Pointer speed controls on the side allow convenient adjustment without even releasing your grip from the mouse. Top mounted LEDs show through the chrome thumb rest to indicate selected pointer speed including extra low (XL), low (LO), MD (medium), to high (HI). Basic functionality in OS X or newer without a driver Linux - Basic functionality without a driver
From the Manufacturer
The patented shape supports your hand in an upright neutral posture that generally avoids forearm twisting. Many users, including medical doctors, ergonomists and physical therapists, said the Evoluent Vertical Mouse provides superior comfort and even relieved their wrist pain.

Ergonomic excellence is the standout feature of this mouse. The vertical design is a game-changer, providing a more natural and comfortable grip that eases the strain on my hand and wrist. It's like a mini wellness upgrade for my work setup, earning a solid four stars for its ergonomic innovation.
For gaming, this mouse holds its ground. While it may not be the ultimate gaming mouse, the ergonomic benefits extend to gaming sessions. The precision and responsiveness meet the demands of casual gaming, making it a versatile choice for both work and play. A respectable three-star rating for its gaming performance.
Battery life is a mixed bag. While it's not the longest-lasting wireless mouse on the market, it holds its own with reliable performance. The convenience of wireless connectivity is a plus, and the battery life, though not extraordinary, is sufficient for regular use. A solid three stars for keeping up with the essentials.
In summary, the Evoluent VM4RW VerticalMouse 4 is a commendable choice for those prioritizing ergonomic comfort. With top-notch ergonomic design, decent gaming capabilities, and reliable battery life, it's a four-star performer in the world of mice. 🖱️🌟
I started getting pains in my hand and wrist both working and gaming. This mouse was so comfortable right out of the box and I have yet to notice any pain (except switching back to my keyboard). It didn't take long to get use to the feel of it. The one drawback is that now my hand seems to rest completely on my pisiform bone. I'm just used to having the mouse closer to me. Guess I need to learn to rest my arm on the desk too.
I've been using a Logitech Performance MX mouse for years, so I can only compare this Evoluent to it. It's lighter than my Logitech and easier to move around. The Logitech seems a lot heavier. The Evoluent is actually smaller in length than the Performance MX by almost an inch. If you stacked 2 MX mice on top of one another, that's about how high the Evoluent sits. But, your hand sits almost vertical. For me, it's the perfect size of my hand and fingers.
I think this is a very good looking mouse. The grip has a slight rubberized texture to it and the dark blue on the click buttons is very nice. The mouse clicks are actually more sensitive than my Performance MX. I also love the third button. I have mine programmed to right click on the 2nd button and show desktop on the 3rd (it's pre-programmed to right click on that 3rd button). At first I did squeeze that 3rd button a lot by accident, but I'm getting used to not hitting it. You could just disable it, if it bugs you.
I only had one hitch with the software. I use Emsisoft Malware & Online Armor. When I tried to open the Evoluent control panel, Online Armor would block it and freeze my system (which it never does). I had to reboot and setup Online Armor to ignore the Evoluent folder, before I could use the software. So just FYI, if you use Emsisoft.
Was it worth $109? To me yes. I remember when I bought my Logitech Performance MX new, it was $99. This isn't a cheaply made mouse and it helps so much with my hand and wrist pain. I'm happy with it.
I regularly use a wireless HP mouse over a surface with a bit of a slope to reduce the tension on my wrist, that has helped a bit. I thought this mouse would help with the pain and I might be able to use on the same way I use the HP one.
Well, after 3-5 seconds of using it the pain was back and intense, and I detected pain on some other places: the part of the wrist that touches the table, the opposite side of the wrist, the pinky finger that lies on the bottom "lid" of the mouse, and the thumb (similar to the tension when holding a hair between the tip of the thumb and index finger).
I might need to have some rest from the computer for a while, I will give it a try again after that.
Related to other functionality: it works great, haven't tested for gaming but it seems not to have delay on the signal, it works fine on most surfaces (even on the couch), there's no visible light coming from the optical part, the pointer speed button is very convenient and works fine. Works out of the box with box Mac and PC, and some of the extra buttons have extra functionality on Windows (7) without need of any drivers (like, you can open links in new tabs). Auto scrolling works with Mac as well, which was a bit unexpected.
My wife, who doesn't spend that much time at the computer, says is a good mouse, comfortable for her and responsive. Yet, I bought it for my wrist pain and it didn't help.
Update: each time I use this mouse I feel pain in my wrist, after 1 sec of holding it. My wife loves it though.
Top reviews from other countries
There was some glitching at first as I plugged it in to a USB hub next to my corded gaming mouse (the instructions specify not to use a hub but my laptop is USB deficient), but when I unplugged both, plugged the Evoluent in first and made sure it was configured properly, then plugged the gaming mouse in second, they both work fine.
I had hoped to use it for both work and gaming, but I did not find it as responsive as I like for FPS games. I keep my corded mouse handy for gaming but use the Evoluent for everything else.
I am a large man (6'2") with large hands, and I find this mouse comfortable. Using a regular mouse for more than a couple of hours causes me pain in my wrist, forearm and elbow that can last for several days. Using this mouse for 4+ hours per day for the last week, I felt a slight soreness from using unaccustomed muscles, but adjusting my chair to be more ergonomically correct has pretty much solved that. Also I am learning that not dropping my wrist or allowing the fleshy part of the outside of the hand to rest on the desk is important; eventually I will get one of those gel wrist pads but for now I have adjusted the armrest on my chair so that when I reach for the mouse my arm and hand stay properly aligned. Basically this mouse is re-configuring the way I sit and work, starting from my mousing hand. After 20+ years of incorrect posture, it's taking some getting used to, but the reduction in pain is worth it.
There are some other minor things that require getting used to. For example: There are two thumb buttons, one above and one below where the thumb sits. Contrary to expectation the top one is used as a back button, which is good since I keep accidentally bumping the bottom thumb button when I reach for or grab the mouse. I would recommend on their next iteration of this mouse that they put both buttons above the thumb rest.
Another minor thing to get used to is the three-button layout, with scroll wheel between the first and second button. At first I thought the RMB was not working, but soon realized I was pressing the center button, not the actual right mouse button. Now that I'm used to using my ring finger for RMB, having the center button as a scroll control has come in very handy when reading lengthy documents and web pages.
Over all, I am glad I bought this mouse.
- Utilisation intense du clic : travail de bureau, utilisation prolongée d'Autocad.
- Douleurs chroniques dans l'index et crispation du poignet. Cela est apparu après utilisation d'une souris classique dans le train sur les genoux, avec poignet plié. Même en utilisant le majeur pour cliquer, ces douleurs ont persisté pendant plusieurs mois jusqu'à l'achat de cette souris (symptomes faisant penser au syndrome du canal carpien).
- Mauvaise ergonomie du bureau (siège non adapté, mauvaise position des bras et des poignets).
Après achat :
- Prise en main rapide. Il faut juste un peu de temps pour acquérir un geste rapide et précis. Le bouton de réglage de la vitesse du pointeur et ses 4 positions permet de choisir simplement sa vitesse de croisière, lente au début, et progressivement plus rapide.
- Prise en main agréable, même avec de grandes mains (21 cm entre pli du poignet et extrémité du majeur).
- Premières sensations d'amélioration dès la première semaine d'utilisation : plus de douleurs persistantes en dehors du travail. Quelques crispations du poignet pendant l'utilisation au début.
- Boutons légers sans être trop sensibles. Le clic molette se fait avec le bouton du milieu (pratique sous Autocad et Internet).
- Deux boutons additionnels côté pouce, programmables avec le pilote de la souris (raccourci pour Précédent sur Internet...).
- Bonne impression de solidité.
En bref :
- Très bon produit, à recommander vivement !
- C'est maintenant difficile de réutiliser une souris classique. Elle me suit au travail et à la maison.
- Le prix d'achat est un peu excessif, mais le prix s'oublie, la qualité reste.
- Penser également à vérifier l'ergonomie de son bureau : position des bras, hauteur du siège... Je n'utilise pas de tapis de souris surélevé.
