Evoluent VMCR VerticalMouse C Right Hand Ergonomic Mouse with Wired USB Connection Regular Size

First off, I have been using this mouse for autocad at work for over 2 years now and it is really a great mouse. Anyone who uses CAD knows that the number of clicks I've put on this thing is somewhere in the millions, but all buttons are still responsive and everything still works and feels like it should. The first knock I have on it is that it feels like a lightweight cheap piece of plastic and I was worried about this when I first got it. But I am pleasantly surprised at how well it has held up. The second knock is that after about a month of use, the wheel started to squeak and squeal like a worn out brake pad, but that went away after another 2 months or so and now it is smooth and quiet. I can't recommend this thing more and now my wrist doesn't feel sore after work. Read more

* the mouse feels pretty good in hand, seems to be durable and is light * the movement is on point, no hiccups * wrist is in more upright position that many other vertical mice which feels really natural and comfortable * thumb rest is high compared to mice I had before which supports more natural position * separate middle button instead of clicking on small scroll wheel is addictive for me * clicking on the lowest button needs a bit of practice (it requires to start using ring finger) and took me some time to get used to it * thumb buttons are easily accessible and I like them more then two buttons next to each other above the thumb (those require more thumb stretching back and forth) * benefits of the Evoluent application: * functions of all buttons can be remapped, so you can create a setup that suites you the most * option to turn on eye comfort mode to adjust brightness of the screen with mouse wheel (with some key pressed) * support 'hyper-scrolling' - it means that the sensitivity of scrolling adjust with speed of scrolling the wheel (this is another addictive feature for me) Read more

The new Evoluent vertical mouse is more comfortable, more sophisticated than the old Vertical Mouse 4. However, there's one deal breaker. It squeaks. The buttons squeak when pressed. It sounds like a creaky old rocking chair. In addition, the scroll wheel is noisy. Why put all the effort into designing such an excellent product, then cheap out on the construction? I'll either go back to the VM4 or find something better. Too bad because I've been using Evoluent products since the original Vertical Mouse. This update is no upgrade. Read more

My old mouse was starting to hurt my wrist, so I figured I needed to upgrade to something with better ergonomics. I've had experience with a Logitech mouse where you control the cursor with a thumb-controlled trackball. The Evoluent is not of the trackball cursor type. A product suggestion: create a product that incorporates a touchpad where the thumb rests to control the cursor. If you reach your arm forward and point with your index, that is basically the shape your hand will make when cradling this mouse. I can tell the VerticalMouse C puts less of a strain on my wrist. I think this is because of the way the Evoluent keeps the wrist in a less tense / more stationary natural position. Slides easily across different surfaces. Avoid irregular surfaces as the mouse stops recognizing movement after a mm or two height difference. One thing I am having an issue with is the mouse wheel is beginning to make noise after less than a month of use. I was surprised that for nearly $100 the product appears cheaply made. The plastic feels pretty thin and could probably be upgraded to a more sturdy type, and maybe textured in some way to give your fingers more grip on the buttons. I suppose it's no worse quality than a typical run of the mill computer mouse. Look at the bright side I guess, it's definitely not heavy! PS. Amazon is trying to confuse us dumb Americans with a "Sheerness" rating in the product reviews. Don't let them do it to you! Especially when sheerness has nothing to do with a computer mouse.. ot does it?! Please hit this review is Helpful if you agree or disagree! Sheerness: The property of being sheer The state or quality of being steep Fineness or intricacy of texture or structure Usage of sheerness more related to a product review: The materials used in construction were the same but the coverage was not, resulting in increased sheerness.

I wanted to like this mouse because it was a great looking mouse and I thought it was fairly comfortable but I had some major issues with it. 1. The price is too high. It seems like this is being sold as a designer mouse but it doesn't have good quality components. For a mouse that is almost one hundred dollars it should at least have braided cables and a decent sensor. 2. I needed to install third party software to manage this mouse. I found that the mouse out of the box had strange clicking configurations. I had to remap the buttons to fix this. 3. The sensor was really bad in my opinion and I would have random moments where the mouse would move erratically when nothing was touching the mouse. I purchased this mouse because it had decent reviews and it was a higher price. I needed pain relief from carpal tunnel. It is decently ergonomic but I had too many issues to keep it. Read more
