Evoluent VerticalMouse 3 Wireless review

When we first met the Evoluent VerticalMouse 3 Wireless, we thought it was a gimmick.

Even if you're not already experiencing pain from the unnatural forearm rotation required by traditional mice, the Evoluent VerticalMouse 3 Wireless will provide comfort and control you never anticipated. Sure, it takes some getting used to, but the...

Evoluent Vertical Mouse 3 (Rev 2)

When we do a mouse review usually we are reviewing a mouse that's the latest and greatest from one of the top makers. This time, however, we take a look at something a little different...

The Evoluent Vertical Mouse 3 is a step in the right direction for mice. Instead of manufacturers churning out the same old thing it's about time someone tried to innovate in the input peripherals field. After all, the mouse is one of the most...

VerticalMouse 3 Wireless

Turn your hand on its side and discover a whole new way to work, with this innovative mouse.

Allows for a more comfortable arm position while mousing; wireless five-button convenience; precise 1,200-dpi resolution; interference-free 2.4GHz wireless signal

Expensive; requires third-party driver software for full use; takes some getting used to; no left-hand version available

Evoluent VerticalMouse 3

The Evoluent VerticalMouse 3 offers the benefits of an ergonomic mouse and the features of a gaming mouse. Consider its price a long-term investment, but just stay conscious of using it as vertically as possible.

Ergonomic and familiar shape. five buttons. four dpi levels. helpful software

Still requires slight grip and turn of the hand. thumb and bottom-right button easy to press by accident. no lefty version available

Evoluent VerticalMouse 3

KeyOvation Evoluent VerticalMouse 3

Keeps your arm even straighter than the competition (assuming that's ergonomically sound); DPI toggle button with LED indicator; software allows you to configure application-specific button profiles.

At $80, it's not cheap; not wireless; needs another thumb-side button; DPI-switching button inconveniently located on the bottom of the mouse.

Evoluent's updated VerticalMouse 3 refines its longtime ergonomic mouse product into a robust modern competitor. It lacks the wireless freedom of Microsoft's recent ergo mouse, but otherwise, it's just as comfortable, more feature-packed, and better...

Review: VerticalMouse 3 Wireless

Even if you're not experiencing pain from the unnatural forearm rotation required by traditional mice, the Evoluent VerticalMouse 3 Wireless will provide comfort and control you never anticipated. But it takes some getting used to.

When I first met the VerticalMouse, I thought it was a gimmick. First, it’s an odd-looking beast, somewhat resembling the dorsal fin of an obese shark. Second, it seemed to be a solution in search of a problem—after all, I’ve been mousing for over 30...

Evoluent VerticalMouse 3

It's nothing out of the ordinary for HL staff to spend a ridiculous number of hours and frequently pull all-nighters in front of our computers. Did we also mention that we aren't exactly young sprouts either? As the years go by, those arm and wrist...

Well,the good news is that we survived the testing of the EvoluentVerticalMouse 3 without any trips to the emergency room. While weweren't actually able to get the VM3 tested by someone with major armor wrist issues, we were able to use and abuse this...

Evoluent VerticalMouse 3

Accurate, comfortable, easy to use, slim to nil learning curve, and highly programmable with adjustable sensitivity. Crippled gamers rejoice!

Comfortable, Familiar design, Excellent drivers, Application profiling, OS X compatible, Adjustable DPI, Gides easily and accurately, All buttons are easy to press

Scrapes hard surfaces when tilt-dragging to reposition, DPI button on underside of mouse, Could use more buttons, Excruciatingly painful to use when not in good posture, Not for lefties, No Mac drivers
