Is Evoluent VerticalMouse 4 good?

Social recommendations and mentions

• Drafting Mouse

  I recommend a vertical mouse with at least a middle button that's not the scrollwheel. I don't do much drafting anymore, but I still use and love my Evoluent VerticalMouse. I don't really like batteries and wireless, so I have the VerticalMouse 4. They also have different sizes in case your hand is smaller. Source: about 2 years ago

• When someone else tries to use your perfect ergonomic setup

• I am looking for an ergonomic keyboard and mouse that I can hook up to my laptop. I am getting aches and pains in elbows, arms, hands, and wrists. Any advice?

  I had a lot of wrist/hand pain using a traditional mouse. The Evoluent vertical mouse has been a life saver. It's also a tank, and I expect it to last a long time, which is also good because it's not very cheap either. Source: over 2 years ago

• Desperately seeking advice on what about my desk set up could be triggering upper trap and neck pain

  Otherwise I agree, it sounds like you are doing everything you need to have good ergonomics, chair, monitor height, etc, you could try a different keyboard and see if it helps. For my work, a good ergonomic keyboard and mouse were absolutely game changers. My work is very mouse heavy, and most keyboards actually make mousework worse by having the keypad on the right side. So I got this keyboard, so I could move... Source: about 3 years ago

• Way to increase mouse scroll sensitivity in SW?

  I highly recommend a vertical mouse. This takes strain off your wrist, due to it being in a more natural position. Lets me use the scroll all day without pain. I almost had to quit working at a computer 10 years ago due to wrist pain, and getting one of these helped fix it. https://evoluent.com/. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Adjustable, low-impact keeb is about as comfortable as it gets

  If you're worried about RSI, take action now. Don't wait. Don't get a keyboard like the one in the article. Get one that reduces arm twisting and strain on your tendons. Fifteen years ago, I had RSI pain in my wrists. I switched to a split keyboard [0], the Microsoft Natural Elite, and the pain mostly went away. The aches came back and slowly got worse, especially when using a mouse. Eight years ago, I... - Source: Hacker News / over 4 years ago

• Been in physical therapy for 3+ months for shoulder & neck pain & not getting significantly better...should I continue or stop? What can I do to get better (I’ll try anything)

  One thing you can look into is making your work space as ergonomic as possible. Are you working at home or in an office? I highly suggest looking up guides on computer ergonomics, and making sure you're following everything you can. For me, I was having HUGE pain problems, and the biggest thing was getting a footstool. I also got a vertical mouse, as I do a lot of mousework, and I LOVE this thing (never going back... Source: over 4 years ago

• MTG at Home with 3D printing

  This sort of keyboard - and just as importantly, a vertical mouse, standing desk, and fancy chair - have more or less halted, prevented, or even reversed the repetitive strain injuries. For people who need them, they are worth their weight in gold. Source: over 4 years ago
