Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of KeyOvation VM2-LSB Vertical Mouse - Optical - USB - Silver, Black
Customer Review: Great mouse
Summary: 4 Stars
I work as a graphic designer and I've been searching for a decent ergonomic three-button mouse that also fits left-handers. The Evoluent Vertical Mouse seemed like a good option, if a little expensive.
I've been using it for the last several weeks and I have to say that, overall, I'm very pleased with the result. My hand doesn't hurt anymore.
I think the only area of improvement might be making the black grip area a bit more rubberized. It tends to be a little difficult to pick the mouse up without hitting the buttons accidentally. As a solution, I purchased some rubberized electrical tape and placed it along the back bottom edge and this vastly improves the grip factor.
Other than that, the Evoluent Vertical Mouse is a great solution for left-handed computer users.
Customer Review: Excellent adaptive device
Summary: 4 Stars
-works well 1 month after purchase to use the medical data entry on off hand with dictation mic and software for the right hand
-cord very long but thin so may be prone to breakage if trapped or chronically bent.
-overall excellent mouse
-not given 5 stars until it's proven its worth for a year.
Customer Review: Evoluent Vertical Mouse left handed
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this item on Sept. 28,2009 and the top button stopped working a week ago. I have had to replace it with an old mouse I had. I am left handed and the mouse was great while it worked. I am concerned that it broke so soon. I would not purchase another one.Customer Review: Good hand positioning, but mouse buttons too stiff
Summary: 3 Stars
I've been using this mouse for a few weeks now. I purchased it after receiving several recommendations from peers who've had RSI issues. I'm right-handed, but have been alternating mousing for a few years now, so switching from right-to-left was an easy adjustment for me. Although I've been regularly using my left hand for mousing, I had previously kept the buttons configured for a right hand. That's been the biggest adjustment for me, but to be fair, I felt that I should adjust to the default layout since this mouse is strictly left-handed. So far, so good.
It's comfortable for my 7-3/4" medium-to-large hand. At first, I thought my pinky finger was getting sore from the positioning (i.e. other fingers resting on it), but that was for only a day. With some positioning adjustments, my shoulder, arm, wrist, and hand all seem to be much more comfortable than with traditional mice.
The accuracy is decent. Good DPI as noted in the item description.
I'm glad the thumb button is "dead" by default as I keep clicking it on accident.
There is a difference in precision clicking since the mouse buttons are pressed on the horizontal axis instead of the vertical one, as others have noted. But I'm adapting without even trying -- like most new things, it just takes using it to get better.
The height of the mouse is also something to get used to, if only not to keep knocking it off of my KB/mouse tray. That's just me being clumsy I think.
My only meaningful complaint is that the mouse buttons require more force to click than I expected. They feel almost as stiff as the right-handed Logitech mouse I had been using (MX518) or the MS Wheel Mouse Optical. I was hoping for something like the HP WX414AA Wireless that I had picked up as a temporary replacement for the painful (to me) MX518. After a day of mousing, I would describe my left hand fingers as being "tired". As I've only been using this mouse a few weeks, I suppose that could be residual discomfort from previous mice, but as it's my left hand, there's not nearly as many mouse miles on them as on my right.
Overall, I'm glad I purchased this mouse. It's more comfortable for my hand than "horizontal" mice. But the buttons need to be softer.
Customer Review: A Better Mouse
Summary: 3 Stars
I use a pc 8 hours a day and I have pain in both wrists and all my fingers. I purchased a Left handed Evoluent and a Right handed 3M Ergonomic mouse. (I use both on the same pc) The Evoluent is a well made mouse with programable buttons and a slew of other options but I still have tension in my fingers. My wrist pain has gone away. This mouse tracks across the screen with very little movement but I have some difficulty using the buttons because I have large hands. I prefer the 3M Ergonomic mouse. It doesn't track as fast as the Evoluent and it doesn't have programmable buttons, but it relieved both my wrist and finger pain. Beware, both manufactures reccomend having your fore arm at a 90 degree angle to your upper arm when you use the mouse. The 3M was hurting my back until I got my workstation set up properly.
