Review: Evoluent VerticalMouse 4 - unique ergonomic mouse in fourth generation

You could read twice on our site reviews of this very interesting pointing device, which is known as a vertical mouse. Significantly contributes to improved ergonomics when working with a computer or laptop, which was confirmed by our long experience. Producer, Evoluent company, and distributor, Bakker Elkhuizen company, recently introduced the fourth generation of this mouse, which again comes with several enhancements that contribute to even greater comfort when working with this mouse. We have once again thoroughly tested, all is written in our today review.

Ergonomic mouse is benefit for you

If you work with a computer every day, then you definitely know that this unilateral action has struggled your body. Ignoring the potential impact of incorrect posture, you have in wrong position mainly hands, particularly the hand, that controls your computer mouse. If you have a traditional mouse and hand is the whole day lying on a table in an unnatural position, with a lot of strain on the wrist, which after a few years may show disease of the nerves and tendons in the hand - carpal tunnel syndrome.

Better is to replace the traditional mouse, one that respects the rules of ergonomics, and ensure that you have a hand in its application in a natural position. And this requirements brings Evoluent mouse. At first glance it may seem very strange, but once you grab, you can see for yourself how your wrists feel better.

In the past, we bring you reviews of two of them:

Evoluent VerticalMouse 3 - classic "wired" version
VerticalMouse 3 Evoluent Wireless - Wireless version

Now, we introduce to you another mouse in this series, this time it's the fourth Evoluent VerticalMouse. In principle the same as pointing device, but with useful enhancements.

New laser sensor

In all Evoluent vertical mouses, which we previously tested, was on the bottom of the classic, glowing red, infrared optical sensor. It is replaced in the fourth generation with laser sensor, the red light is almost never seen. The laser scanner is currently the best of what the computer mouses has mounted, is more accurate than infrared and can capture movement on more surfaces.

Larger "storage" area for your fingers

On the mouse, where is the natural possession of your thumb, is increased carved surface, which is used for its placement. And was very significantly increased the shelf for the little finger. Both changes contribute to even better ergonomics when using this mouse.

Pair of buttons for the thumb

Past generations of Evoluent mouse has in one additional thumb button (software configure action for each button (including wheels), it can even be different in each application). Now, is added one more, one is at upper of the thumb and second is under the thumb.

Simple and fast speed control

In the area around the buttons is button to adjust sensitivity (speed) of the mouse. So whenever you can immediately reduce or increase the sensitivity of the mouse according to your taste. This button does not interfere in any way other buttons while holding the mouse.

Light indicators

In the area of thumb are newly added four small green LEDs that provide information about the currently set speed (sensitivity). Values are not in numbers, but in abbreviations - XL (Extra Low), LO (Low), MD (medium) and HI (high).

At the bottom of the mouse towards you, the logo Evoluent is placed. Previously, was on the mouse body just printed, now it is illuminated in blue color. Lights steadily, turns off when you turn off / put to sleep your PC or laptop.

LED Light of logos is not aggressive, while I working with mice, I do not mind it.

Conclusion

The Evoluent VerticalMouse 4 the best mouse from Evoluent company. Once you at least try it for a couple of hours, then you will not want to change, believe me. There is only offered in the "wired" version, but I believe that, like the Evoluent VerticalMouse 3, the fourth generation soon come with wireless version. Once so, we will prepare again review for you.
