Evoluent VerticalMouse 4 Small

The Evoluent VerticalMouse's form factor is different, but don't let that turn you off—this mouse will give you one of the most comfortable navigation experiences around.

Ergonomic, comfortable design. Plug-and-play capabilities. On-the-fly dpi switching. Customizable software

Plastic tends to attract a little grime. Customizable user interface could look cleaner

Review: Evoluent VerticalMouse 4

An ergonomic and comfortable mouse.

Seven mouse controls ; Rests for thumb and little finger ; Right and left versions of regular sized mouse ; Convenient speed control ; Comfortable grip

No Macintosh software yet ; No left version of small sized mouse ; Not good for fast mouse action games ; Seems fragile ; Needs regular cleaning ; Expensive

I am not a fan of the mouse that came with my iMac, so I’ve tried a variety of mice with varying success. I have small hands, size 7 to be exact, so most mice feel too big for me. My favorite mouse is the simple Mini Pro from Contour Design, but I ma

Good Ergo's, but poor quality

I love this mouse, but would switch to another brand if I felt anyone else had the ergo's right. I am about to be on my 4th Vertical Mouse in the last 6 years. It is used for work 5 days a week, but nobody else in the office ... Expand full review

Evoluent VerticalMouse 4 mouse

Expensive. The pop-up to remind you to take a break will corrupt any data that is processing, blows you out of the input mode, and throws the cursor to the wind. When I contacted Evoluent.... nice friendly customer service guy insisted I reload the...

it is upright and has shiny things on it

It is pricey and Evlouent doesn't have the expertise to fix the driver. Buy yourself a timer and disable the "Break Reminder" pop-up so it doesn't corrupt your data. Lots of driver options for customizing... but not stable

Nice Mouse...flaky finish

It is an upright mouse. Your arm feels better; your wrist will thank you. The concept excellent

The mouse is cheaply made. The silver finish is very cheap, and it is already wearing away. This could be intended, because no mouse, I have ever owned, had the finish wear away in one month. None ; Evoluent provides specifics on cleaning the mouse....
