Troubleshooting
An extra-wide lip along the bottom edge prevents the little finger from rubbing the desk.
The thumb rest has been reshaped to provide even more comfort over earlier versions.
An approved mouse of University of California at Berkeley
The Evoluent VerticalMouse 2 (an earlier model identical in concept) was evaluated in 2007 by a team at the health services clinic in UC Berkeley, including medical doctors, physical therapists, ergonomists, and administrators. It was found to be comfortable, easily adapted to, and promote a neutral wrist and forearm posture. It was the only vertical type mouse approved for staff use within UC Berkeley and for sale in the campus store at that time.
Top-mounted LEDs show through the chrome thumb rest to indicate selected pointer speed including extra low (XL), low (LO), MD (medium), to high (HI).
A new bottom thumb button provides greatly extended functionality when used with the included driver.
The logo is pure eye-candy. The illumination turns off when the system is in sleep mode to conserve notebook battery power.
Pointer speed controls on the side allow convenient adjustment without even releasing your grip from the mouse.
Evoluent VM4 has a special feature of horizontal scrolling. If you want to use it write us in which program (Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets) you want to take advantage of it and we will send you instructions concerned.
Evoluent is suitable for those allergic to rubber
People allergic to rubber can use the Evoluent mice with no harm. There is no latex or rubber in the Evoluent mice. The scroll wheel, for example, is of silicone.
Evoluent mice have a guarantee of 2 years.
Compatibility
The old Evoluent software was certified to work with earlier versions of macOS, specifically 10.5, and 10.6-10.14. Since Mac computers automatically update their OS to later versions, the Evoluent software no longer works. Due to each macOS update requiring Evoluent to go through an intensive process to re-certify Evoluent's Mac software, Evoluent is no longer providing software for programming VerticalMouse Bluetooth and Mac models.
