The Evoluent™ VerticalMouse™ 3 Ergonomic Mouse is 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.
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.
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.
Easy Clicking
The button force is light for easy clicking, but still firm enough to avoid accidental actuation.
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.
