2012 Evoluent Product Offering

Evoluent is still going strong in 2012 with an updated ergonomic product offering. Their main claim to fame, the VerticalMouse, is currently available in four variations.

First you have the standard Vertical Mouse 4 for right-handed or left-handed users (models VM4R and VM4L). This is the newest model of their famous mouse first produced back in 2001. Numerous enhancements have been made to the deisgn over the years and it is still one of the best-selling ergonomic mice available today.

In addition to the standard models Evoluent also offers a "small" version and a wireless version of the right-hand model (cordless unit shown in picture above).

The new wireless model (VM4RW) boasts all of the same features and benefits of the standard unit plus a 2.4GHz mini USB receiver that has a very low profile, which means it's going to stay in your USB port and not be knocked out by accident.

The small version (VM4S) was made specifically for users who have a hand size less than about 7". Hand size is determined by measuring the length from the crease of your wrist to the tip of your middle finger. If your hand is less than 7 inches it is recommended to go with the small model for the best fit.

Evoluent has also released a new version of their compact computer keyboard (model EKB) and they continue to also offer their ARMazing memory foam arm pads for your chair.

Vertical Mouse vs Zero Tension Mouse

If you're considering the purchase of a new ergonomic computer mouse there's something you should know: you get what you pay for! We know that it's not very exciting to accept that fact and its easy to be lured into what will end up being a bad deal because of a low price tag. We're now talking specifically about the Zero Tension Mouse and the disadvantages when compared to the Vertical Mouse. This website, just for clarification, is not endorsed by Evoluent, we are an actual distributor and user of their products that truly believes they provide greater ergonomic benefit than any other devices on the market. Thousands of customers agree that it is possible to get used to this new mouse quickly and to start enjoying the reduced hand strain almost immediately. The Zero Tension Mouse is enticing because of the low price point but it is not a very well-made product whatsoever. It has the highest defective rate of any product we ever offered, from any manufacturer. Many people who try it also end up returning their purchase because they find that they simply do not like the positioning of the buttons and the fashion in which you move the cursor. A good number of our clients find that using a trackball mouse can also alleviate muscle tension and make it more comfortable to work for longer periods of time.

Beware of Evoluent Imitators

There has been an influx (especially on eBay) of knock-off Evoluent mouse devices lately. Cheapo manufacturers are trying to entice people with a complete ripoff of the Vertical Mouse for less than half the price. If you're a smart shopper you already know to stay away, but for those who are tempted you are hereby warned. The imitation vertical mouse will not feel as good as the real one, won't provide as much of a benefit, and surely will not last as long. Oh yea, and the fake mouse is shipped from Korea usually so if you have any problems with the mouse good luck paying for the shipping back to manufacturer. The real Evoluent provides a great no-nonsense warranty and in the rare instance you get a defective one you can get it replaced very easily. The original Evoluent mouse costs $69.95 and the wireless model is $109.95.

Wireless Vertical Mouse Now Available

The Evoluent VerticalMouse 3 is now available in wireless! Packaged with an ultra-slim 2.4GHz wireless USB receiver, this mouse is the best of the best when it comes to ergonomic mice. The USB receiver is slim enough to avoid blocking adjacent ports and the estimated battery life under typical use is about 3 months (takes (2) AA batteries). The wireless model has all of the same features as the wired model and users report the same improvements in their pains and strains.

The Vertical Ergonomic Mouse

The VerticalMouse by Evoluent is a revolutionary ergonomic mouse device that has risen in popularity over the past few years. Its inventor struggled hard to get his idea put into production years ago but persistence and perseverance has paid off big. This award winning vertical mouse is now on the top sellers list of basically every ergonomic products supply shop on the internet. Users consistently report a reduction in pain and discomfort in their mousing hands, forearms and shoulders. What the Vertical Mouse does is put your mouse hand in the "handshake" position which minimizes arm twisting. The less twisting and awkward positioning you do the less strain you will feel in your body. The effects of a computing environment that is not ergonomic are easily felt after a fairly short period of daily computer use. Since almost all Americans use a computer on a daily basis it is time that everyone gets educated on proper ergonomics.
