The Evoluent™
VerticalMouse™ 3 Wireless is the wireless version of the advanced third generation of the revolutionary
mouse that amazingly relieved wrist and arm pain (according to many
user reports). The shape has been further refined in subtle details
based on the ergonomic lessons learned from the previous two
generations.
Eliminates Arm Twisting
The
patented shape supports your hand in a relaxed handshake position that
eliminates forearm twisting. You will quickly become accustomed to the
improved comfort.
An ordinary horizontal mouse requires your forearm to twist away from its natural position.
Familiar grip
The grip is the same as an ordinary mouse, just turned sideways. 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.
Easy to use buttons
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.
Fits different size hands
The shape has been improved to fit larger hands as well as smaller hands.
Prevents desk rubbing
A small lip on the bottom edge prevents the little finger from rubbing the desk.
Ultra fast response
A
2200 dpi true optical resolution sensor moves the pointer quickly to
reduce hand movements. The pointer can be moved across a 17" monitor
with only 1/2" (13 mm) or less movement of the mouse. Most other mice
have 400-800 dpi and require more hand movement.
Programmable buttons (XP Pro, XP Home, Vista 32)
5
buttons each programmable with different functions in different
applications. For example, a button can be Double Click in one
application and Ctrl in another application.
Special functions (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.
Repositioning
The VerticalMouse 3 can be repositioned without moving the pointer:
Tilt it to the side to disable tracking.
Slide it without moving the pointer.
