Awkward Hand Position
- February 1, 2020[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I felt as though my forearm was working to keep my hand and wrist in the position required by this mouse; it does not feel natural or ergonomic. To test this I pushed the mouse slightly away from me, while placing my arms in the position to use a mouse. The natural position of my hands rolled inward/downward towards the desk, which would be the hand position required the for the traditional mouse. When I moved my hand upward/outward, as required by this mouse, I could feel the strain again. So, this little test confirmed what I was feeling when I used this mouse. Yesterday I exchanged this for the Logitec M705 and am very pleased.

Best ergonomic mouse you can buy.
- March 26, 2021[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very good ergonomic mouse. It's not cheap, but Beast Buy has a competitive price and it is worth it. This replaced an older mouse (same model) that had been touched a few time too many by food (lunch) being eaten while mousing that caused some stickiness of the buttons. Obviously, don't let what you are eating with your hands get into the mouse. Buttons are programmable so you can add a double click button as one of the six buttons available (I use the middle one for this). Smooth operation all around. Great for long mousing time periods.

I love this mouse! I bought the small version.
- April 17, 2013[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was having severe pain in my arm. I'm a CPA; work up to 16 hrs a day. Couldn't believe the diff in just a day. Immediately recog the difference between having my arm in an outward extended position with hand down vs a handshake position. Got the mouse only a few days before appt with ortho to find out why I had lost range of motion in my arm. Cortisone relieved the inflam, a few exercises a day, within 3 wks, I had almost full range back. I think the new mouse kept my from aggravating the problem, allowing my muscles to heal!

A comfortable alternative
- March 11, 2017[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After experiencing issues with my fingers and wrist on a normal mouse, I purchased this mouse to alleviate the pressures/pain I was feeling in my wrist. This mouse helped a lot with the issues. There are plenty of buttons to adjust the functions to various different places if you need to. I purchased a second one for at work to ensure I was using the same ergonomic mouse. It took about a week to dial in the functions of the mouse and I appreciate the difference it has made.

Mouse suitable for small hands.
- May 8, 2021[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A vertical mouse takes a while to get used to; sometimes I have the tendency to grasp it at the top with my palm down like a regular mouse, but I'm willing to work with it. It's a big plus that the mouse buttons can be customized after you download and install the software. I wish Best Buy sold the wireless version of this small mouse. They sell the large Evoluent wireless mouse but not the small wireless version. I can't speak to the longevity of this product yet.

Great ergonomic mouse for users with smaller hands
- April 25, 2012[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am the ergonomic specialist at our company and I recommend this mouse to most people with wrist issues. It is a great design that is better for wrist and hand than a standard mouse. Your forearm is much more relaxed while using this mouse and takes away the abduction and adduction movement for many mouse users with a standard mouse. This mouse is the "SMALL" version for smaller hands. Best Buy should put the word small in the main product name.

Relieves ergo problems instantly
- August 13, 2020[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Working from home for months on a computer with a trackpad mouse brought a recurrence of sore fingertips that I had experienced with a regular mouse years ago. A vertical mouse had alleviated that problem then and did so again. I plugged in this vertical mouse (a wireless version of which I used at the office), and it instantly relieved the fingertip pressure. After a few days, my fingertips healed, and it was as if the problem never existed.

Eliminated Wrist Pain
- March 10, 2014[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is an easy setup with just plugging it in and going. You can download driver software from the Evoluent website and then it allows you to reprogram the buttons. Their right click is awkward for me, so I reprogrammed it for the middle button to function as a right click. I have had zero wrist pain since I have been using this mouse and I am seriously considering purchasing another one for my home! Worth every penny!

Pretty good
- May 6, 2022[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I only use vertical mice because of wrist issues, and this one is pretty good. I also needed wired because of Bluetooth interference in my office. This mouse does have a little bit of a learning curve, but after a while it's seamless. Programmable buttons are nice, but you'll probably remove functionality from the middle button- it's too easy to accidentally click

Good
- July 19, 2012[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do accounting and click million times a day at work. Because I push it so hard, my right hand has injured. My doc suggested me to try this mouse and I think it was a really wise change. :) I also rely on it when it comes to help me to work on my website. Overall, I suggestion the product. Wish it was smaller.
