Patented ergonomic shape.
The ergonomic shape of the Evoluent4 Right Wireless Small is based on several years of research and user experience of former Evoluent models. Details like the extended lip along the bottom edge prevent the little finger from rubbing on the desk. The improved thumb rest provides even more comfort than earlier versions, and the programmable buttons are easy to reach. You hold this vertical mouse in a so-called handshake posture, which keeps your hand in an upright neutral position. In this posture, twisting of the forearm is prevented, reducing physical discomfort. All these details are thoughtfully designed to provide uncompromised comfort for the user.
- The Evoluent4 Right Wireless Small is held in a handshake position, meaning your hand is in an upright neutral posture.
- This posture avoids forearm twisting and therefore prevents physical discomfort.
- All these details of the vertical mouse Evoluent4 Right Wireless Small provide ergonomic and healthy working.
Ergonomic background
Prolonged use of a regular mouse can lead to pain and discomfort in the shoulders, forearms, and hands (Chang et al., 2007 & Andersen et al., 2008). The handshake position of vertical mice keeps the wrist from bending as much to the side while the forearm also turns inward to a lesser degree (Schmid, et al., 2015). This means that muscle activity in the forearm is reduced compared with using a conventional mouse (Quemelo & Vieira, 2013). Research has shown that the use of a vertical joystick mouse supports faster recovery from forearm, wrist and hand complaints (Aarås, et al., 2001). Therefore, vertical mice compared to standard mice contribute to a healthier and more comfortable way of working.
Adjustable Pointer Speed.
The easy-to-reach button behind the scroll wheel enables quickly changing the pointer speed to suit different tasks. Select a high DPI value for quickly moving across the screen for general tasks. Choose a low DPI value for precision work such as photo editing or drawing.
- There are four DPI values in total: 800, 1300, 1800 and 2600, which are conveniently indicated by four lights.
Programmable buttons and easy to use.
The grip and the intuitive handling of the Evoluent4 Right Wireless Small make this vertical mouse easy to use. You can conveniently program the six buttons yourself with the free downloadable Evoluent Mouse Manager software. Program the keys the way you prefer. Buttons perfectly tuned to your needs will make your mouse work more efficiently.
Automatic sleep mode.
The illuminated Evoluent logo on the vertical mouse indicates whether the Evoluent4 Right Wireless Small is in sleep mode. The illumination turns off when the system enters sleep mode to conserve laptop battery power. This function can be helpful when you need to conserve your laptop's battery.
Multiple use and colours.
The Evoluent4 Right Wireless Small vertical mouse is made of high-quality material and feels good in the hand. The colour of the mouse is brown with bronze buttons. You may prefer to use the wireless version in your home office or when you are on the go. No matter where you use your Evoluent4 Right Wireless Small, you can work ergonomically everywhere with this mouse.
Plug-and-play.
You can start working with your Evoluent4 Right Wireless Small immediately thanks to the plug-and-play functionality. There is no need for manual configuration. Just plug the USB receiver into one of the USB ports of your computer, laptop or mobile device. The Evoluent4 Right Wireless Small is compatible with Windows, Linux, and Mac systems (for other OS such as Apple Mac and Linux, it should work if the system supports a USB mouse; however, extra buttons might not work properly on those non-Windows OS PCs).
