Evoluent VerticalMouse...

[rush24t3]

I bought one of these on a lark last week, and it's terrific...in just a week, my wrist and arm feel a million times better than they have in a long time.

It looks unwieldy in the pics, but it's really comfortable and not hard to get used to; it's light and works pretty well for general gaming, too (RTS, WoW, etc.). However, hardcore/twitch gamers would have to evaluate it for themselves. It comes with a driver CD (one of those mini CD-ROMs) and a USB-to-PS/2 adapter.

Granted, it's expensive, but if you suffer from wrist/hand fatigue, you might give it a try.

That is pretty interesting, I would consider buying one if the price wasn't so steep.

However, with that in mind how is the software included to program the buttons

That does look interesting but I think it would take some getting used to.

Yeah, I 2nd that. I'd pay about £35 for that (equivalent to $50 I'd guess considering UK gets ripped off).


Just grabbing my mouse I have now and twisting it round like that vertical mouse I immediately feel a relief of strain on my wrist. The only thing about it is that you'd have a slightly reduced movement that you get with normal mice when you use your fingers to push it around in addition to your whole hand movement. With that vertical mouse it seems like you'd be moving your hole hand around a little more.
