Product reviewsEvoluent VM4R 2600 DPI Ergonomic Vertical Mouse - Gray

Best Mouse for your Health (and arm!)

This mouse is far more conventional than a normal mouse. Your wrist sits comfortable on it and your forearm remains straight.

It is designed not only physically well, but also technologically. Several buttons are programmable, which allow you to them for common tasks, like opening new and closing browser tabs. Indeed, the technology also reduces how much you're required to move your wrist.

If you use a computer 8 or more hours per day, I strongly recommend this mouse. I'm on my third (3+ years each), and though pricey for a mouse, worth every penny!Read full review...

Good but it doesnt justify the price

This is one of the best vertical mouses and I have experience with vertical mouses for about 10 years. Product is very light. A bit more mass would be better. Its easy to flick it off the table by accident.
Plastic is very flat leaving no groowes where palm heat could dissipate. My hand is warm because of that and this degrades the experience. Arm position is nice vertical. Buttons are well positioned but fifth finger tends to land on the table. Buttons are too soft and wheel doesnt feel much premium. More like it will fall apart any moment.
There are similar and less pricey options offering good ergonomics and value for the money, such as older m618 models.
Price is ok for someone from the US. The rest of us have to pay very expensive shipping and handling.Read full review...

May be your only choice if you need 3 buttons, but some design flaws

If you need 3 mouse buttons, this seems to be the only vertical mouse. And I like the separation of the scroll-wheel from the middle button.

The main design flaw is that there's no place for your pinkie finger. The bottom (right) mouse button extends all the way down. That forces you to hold the mouse with a "queen's little finger" extended outward, like you're holding a teacup.

Also, the buttons are so easy to push that I'm continually clicking when I mean to be just moving the mouse.

As a nice-to-have, I wish there were a loop over the thumb to permit lifting with the thumb rather than rocking (against my little finger) which often leads to an inadvertent click.

Another nice-to-have: default one of the thumb buttons to allow me to move the mouse without moving the cursor (essentially disconnecting it momentarily). Less twisting/lifting that way.Read full review...

Exceptional product for CAD users.

This product is very comfortable for people with larger than normal hands.
The software from the manufacturer works flawlessly. In the short time I have
used this product I have noticed a 10% increase in productivity. The 6 buttons
are placed intuitively and can be assigned in any way.Read full review...

Cured my pain

I had a stripe of dull pain up and down the middle of my palm after years of conventional mouse use. A few months after switching to the evoluent mouse the pain was gone. I know because if I use a regular mouse for a day the pain begins to come back. My first and second Evoluent mice each lasted for many years of daily use.Read full review...

Great natural hand position!

In the past, using a typical mouse, I would get tendonitis pain in my forearm/elbow, but I never have that trouble since switching to the Evoluent Vertical Mouse. It's a very natural hand position, just like shaking someone's hand.Read full review...

Works great, just a bit more "worn" than I had expected.

It is a bit more "used" than expected, but works great just the same. In several places the exterior finish has been completely worn off from use.

I love it

Great used product at a great price. I am getting used to it. The extra buttons are easier to use than on a regular mouse

Works for me

This mouse fits my hand. Use of this mouse has eliminated the need for an elbow brace and I no longer have "mouse elbow" pain. I use it with Slackware Linux_64-15.0 and it works great.
