Customer Review: Pleased
Summary: 5 Stars
I was in total misery using a regular mouse less than an hour a day. I have terrible right wrist problems from work injuries, both to the wrist and the neck. The neck also cause some problems on the left.
I badly needed an ergonomic mouse, but I thought why just get an ergonomic mouse for the right hand? Why not just completely switch hands for mouse use?
In my internet searches I ran across these Evoluent mouses, and the whole idea made so much sense to me. I ordered a left hand one, and it did take awhile to catch on to it really good, but I am right handed, so not only was I trying to work with my clumsy left hand, I was using a complete new style of mouse. The upshot is that I now use this Evoluent left handed mouse exclusively, and very adeptly. It is awesome. I highly recommend these mouses. Mine is the Vertical Mouse 2, and I have had it going on a year now. I see they have a new model VM 3 out now, and it is probably more advanced yet.
Another thing I notice is that you don't have to move the mouse all over the place all the time. You can do what you need to with a lot less squirreling around.
Well worth the money if you have any problems at all, and even if you don't (yet) You may be able to avoid future problems.
Customer Review: Great for lefties and righties too!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm another software developer who spends 8 to 12 hours a day on my computer. After 25 years of working a mouse with my right hand I was ready to give the other side of my body some exercise. I originally purchased the Evoluent 3 Right Hand and really liked the angle of the wrist and the fairly good resolution, smooth movement, three buttons (bottom one likes to act as a back button for my browser) and nice scroller. So when I started looking for a leftie to try out Evoluent was a natural choice. I've been very happy with this mouse, liked it so much I loaned it to my wife (who actually is a leftie) who has suffered a lot of wrist and back pain. She loves it so much that now I have to go and buy another one for myself!!
My only complaint is, where is the VM3-LSB for lefties? And of course, it would be nice to get the resolution up another notch to be competitive with Logitechs and such, but you can only expect so much from a specialty product such as this.
Overall, highly recommended no matter which hand you write with. My back feels much better and my wife can finally give the tendons in her right hand a break :)

I was developing tendonitis in my wrist from using a MS 3000 mouse. This Evoluent mouse eliminates the problem because it allows me to keep my wrist in a natural position without straining tendons in my wrist. The software that comes with this mouse allows me to set the function of the various buttons and to set the speed and precision of the mouse. When I do photo editing in Photoshop I slow down the mouse and set if for maximum precision which allows me to more easily do precise editing. I set the bottom button on this mouse to do nothing as I found I had a tendency to click that button accidentally. I have the top button set to be a left click which is the default setting. I set the middle button to be a right click. I have the extra button on the right side of this mouse set to magnify. It does take some time getting used to this mouse but it is worth it to avoid painful tendonitis.Customer Review: A Better Mouse

I use a pc 8 hours a day and I have pain in both wrists and all my fingers. I purchased a Left handed Evoluent and a Right handed 3M Ergonomic mouse. (I use both on the same pc) The Evoluent is a well made mouse with programable buttons and a slew of other options but I still have tension in my fingers. My wrist pain has gone away. This mouse tracks across the screen with very little movement but I have some difficulty using the buttons because I have large hands. I prefer the 3M Ergonomic mouse. It doesn't track as fast as the Evoluent and it doesn't have programmable buttons, but it relieved both my wrist and finger pain. Beware, both manufactures reccomend having your fore arm at a 90 degree angle to your upper arm when you use the mouse. The 3M was hurting my back until I got my workstation set up properly.Customer Review: Great mouse

I work as a graphic designer and I've been searching for a decent ergonomic three-button mouse that also fits left-handers. The Evoluent Vertical Mouse seemed like a good option, if a little expensive.
I've been using it for the last several weeks and I have to say that, overall, I'm very pleased with the result. My hand doesn't hurt anymore.
I think the only area of improvement might be making the black grip area a bit more rubberized. It tends to be a little difficult to pick the mouse up without hitting the buttons accidentally. As a solution, I purchased some rubberized electrical tape and placed it along the back bottom edge and this vastly improves the grip factor.
Other than that, the Evoluent Vertical Mouse is a great solution for left-handed computer users.
