• Adjustable laser sensor: Pointer speed buttons on the side allow convenient adjustment without even changing your grip on the mouse.
• Pointer speed indicators: Top mounted LEDs show through the chrome thumb rest to indicate selected pointer speed from extra low to high.
• Lighted Evoluent logo: Pure eye candy. The illumination turns off when the system is in sleep mode to conserve notebook battery power.
• Useful and intuitive driver: Mouse Manager for Windows provides extensive but easy to use functionality through a simple and intuitive interface.
• Shape: Improved softer contouring for a more comfortable fit. Slightly greater height better accommodates larger hands while improved contours maintain comfortable grip for a wide range of hand sizes, with a deeper and slightly angled indentation for the thumb, reducing the pressure in the web of the hand.
• Scroll wheel: Grooved soft rubber with tactile detents.
• Finger flange: Much larger finger flange prevents little finger from dragging on desk.
• Speed toggle: Move up or down through the 4 pointer speed settings with easy access side button and clearly visible indicator.
• Application dependent buttons: Create customized button programming for different applications.
• Design: Improved sensor coupled with the light activation force for which the Evoluent is known. Smooth button action and scrolling. Improved contour provides greater comfort and more relaxed grip.
• Relaxed handshake position: The ergomically contoured shape supports your hand in a natural handshake position that eliminates forearm twisting. You use the same familiar grip as with an ordinary mouse, but in a vertical orientation, so almost no retraining is needed. Clicking the mouse buttons does not result in unwanted movement because your thumb naturally opposes your finger movements.
• Contoured and textured: The contoured black portion of the body where you hold the mouse has a polyurethane coating, allowing you to have complete control of the mouse just by resting your hand on it — practically eliminating the need to grip the mouse.
• Light tactile buttons: The buttons on the VerticalMouse take about half the force of traditional mice to click, so your fingers won't get tired with all the clicking required in today's computer applications. The button force is light for easy clicking, but still firm enough to avoid accidental actuation.
• 6 buttons: The VerticalMouse provides a total of 6 buttons. A thumb operated button and 3 finger operated buttons are provided. Also, the scroll wheel provides a fourth button at your fingertips.
• Auto click: Automatically perform a single or double click by pausing the pointer. The time delay before activation is adjustable.
• Click lock (or Drag lock): Press and hold a button momentarily to simulate continued pressing without holding down the button. The time delay before activation is adjustable.
• Break reminder: Set up visual and/or audio alerts to remind you to take a break.
