Evoluent VMCRW VerticalMouse C Right Hand Ergonomic Mouse with Wireless Connection (Regular Size)

So I've had this thing since 2016 so it's been about 5 years - even though I did not use it for a decent amount of time inside of that period I have owned it since then.In the last new months it has developed intermittent issues throwing double-click's when I single-click the mouse - effectively making it useless. For a while I thought I was just clicking it lazily and/or some sort of software tweak but after getting a diagnostic check on the mouse events being fired (a link provided by the manufacturer) it has now been determined that this thing is bad. :(When I contacted the manufacturer it appears that beyond 2 years I'm on my own - which is fine and all, however for the premium I paid for this mouse one would think they would want to make their most evangelistic customers happy when their hardware clearly fails however it would seem that I'm going to have replace this thing now, knowing that it's certainly defective.I've owned dozens of mice over my 30+ years in computing - this was by far the most exotic and specific and was truly helpful for the vertical design however I've NEVER had a mouse (specifically a wireless one) die in 5 years of something like an intermittently defective mouse button.To me this can only indicate sub-par componentry not in line with industry competitors as I've NEVER had Microsoft or Logitech go bad in a manner like this (I've owned MANY of both).Was nice while it lasted but to me the quality of expensive accessories is #1 - I'll gladly pay up for the fancy (whatever) - in this case, a Mouse - but it had better work, for damn near... forever.If you're okay with a less than 5 year lifespan - have at it.-----------------------------------UPDATE: Manufacturer is at least being helpful and seems willing to offer a discount on a new one (I'll update if it happens) - I MAY give the newer (D) model a shot - I don't think I would however buy another of the exact one model (C) I have currently.

This mouse is very fragile and does not handle drops well at all. I've broken two of these and decided to move on to a competitor. I've dropped the competitor several times with nothing more than a scratch as a result - I work from home, using a standing desk, but I've dropped mice walking up stairs/down stairs as well as from the desk. You may have a more stable (safe) work setup, but with this mouse, all it takes is just one drop, and you're done.

Some things that most people don't think about is that your wrist when in a neutral position, such as shaking a persons hand or running, your two forearm bones are in a none overlaped orientation to each other.When you are palms up or down this causes your shoulder to rotate, and forearms /wrist to be in a stressed position (the bones cross each other).Only within the last few centuries humans have put ourselves into this situation of unnatural positions.When you are typing flat or using a standard mouse this causes the a very unnatural position. Think even about writing a letter , and the position you hold a pen or pencil, a very natural position and none stressed.This mouse helps overcome some of those issues and puts your wrist in a non-stressed / non-overlapped position. It's helped my wrist and shoulders a ton over the last 8 years as I continue to upgrade to the newest Evoluent products. This newest generation is my favorite and I've ordered 1 for home and 1 for the office.I will say that each product lasts about 2-3 years before it starts acting up, and this causes me to upgrade each time because customer service isn't that great. I continue to do so because how great the product helps me from a health stand point but I hate the reliability issues.This new generation has a well known squeaking issues that can be solved by putting some mineral oil in the joints. Very annoying for a $100+ mouse! But , as I mentioned earlier, it helps my shoulders, helps my wrists, so I continue to pay it.Another issue is the short range from the USB transmitter to the mouse, if it is too far away it will drop quickly. For example I need to put the USB transmitter into my monitors side USB ports because the ones in the back cause too more interference.The batteries seem to drain quicker than I would expect, I get a few months out of each one, but I do use the computer VERY often.If a copy cat company comes on the market with better reliability I will switch in a second.

This item is very well built and has a good quality feel to it.You get used to the three buttons very quickly and now I prefer it.Only problem is its a bit small. I have average to large male hands, ands its far too small. Holding the mouse how you are supposed to (judging by the ergonomic design of the mouse) would actually yield an uncomfortable holding position, which i imagine would cause strain on your hand from an awkward grip. My preference would be for the mouse to fill and support my entire hand, so that my hand can then be relaxed.To account for this, I've developed an unorthodox grip which gives me greater comfort. Unfortunately this grip then makes it very hard/impossible to use the thumb buttons, as they are closer to my palm than my thumb. I think this mouse would be much better suited to smaller hands. I don't know if the previous models are larger.Despite this, its a great mouse. And the C model looks a lot better than the previous models, in my opinion.

It's a good mouse, but worth the money? Really not sure. There are other ergonomic mice available for a fraction of the cost that do a decent job.

it is impossible to aim. useless.

Einleitung:Ich habe mir alle vier Mäuse bestellt und ihre Handhabung sowie die erreichbare Genauigkeit getestet. Nach intensiver Nutzung einer normalen Maus (PC-Arbeit, PC-Spiele) habe ich einen ziehenden Schmerz (an den Sehnen?) auf der Oberseite des Unterarms ausgehend vom Handgelenk. Die Ergonomie/Handhabung der verschiedenen Mäuse habe ich somit auch bzgl. der Auswirkung der Stellung der Hand/Handgelenks auf diese Schmerzen getestet (BEACHTE: ich habe keine Langzeittest machen können, die Tests bezogen sich nur auf mehrere Minuten). Meine rechte Hand misst 18.5-19cm von Mittelfingerspitze-Handansatz sowie etwa 9cm Handflächenbreite.Fazit:Mit der Anker ist meiner Meinung nach keinem geholfen. Weder ergonomisch angenehm, noch erreicht man mit ihr eine Genauigkeit in der Bedienung wie mit einer konventionellen Maus. DeLUX ist gut, jedoch nur für kleine bis mittelgroße Hände geeignet. Beide Evoluent Mäuse sind von der Ergonomie gut / sehr gut (->ich bin auf die Langzeitwirkung-/verbesserung bei mir gespannt!). Die VM4RW führt eher zu schwitzigen Händen (vorallem am Daumen), die VMCRW liegt irgendwie "natürlicher" in der Hand.Man sollte am besten selbst verschiedene Mäuse testen! Mir war schnell klar, dass die Anker überhaupt nichts ist. Entweder will ich eine normale Maus und kann hochgenau Photoshop bedienen oder ich will eine Maus, die eine möglichst "natürliche" Handstellung bewirkt. Die DeLUX musste ich leider zurückweisen, weil sie zu klein für meine Hand ist. Hier sollte es wie bei Evoluent verschiedene Größen geben. Dann wäre sie ein echter Konkurrent zur VMCRW (vorallem im Preis!). Ich konnte mich sehr sehr lange nicht zwischen den beiden Evoluent Mäusen entscheiden. Ich bin mir immer noch nicht 100%ig sicher, ob meine Wahl die richtige war. Schlussendlich habe ich nun die VMCRW behalten. Sie fühlt sich ein bisschen besser an als die VM4RW. Man beachte aber, dass Evoluents C Reihe NICHT die 4er Reihe ersetzt. Es ist ein etwas anderer Schnitt. Ich wiederhole mich: am besten selber testen!Einzelheiten zu den Mäusen mit Noten von 1-5:Anker 1.5/5- nicht sehr griffig- nicht sehr vertikal- meine Hand ist gerade noch groß genug, um Tasten/Rad zu erreichen- gut gemeint, aber mMn keine ergonomische MausDeLUX 3/5- liegt gut in der Hand- Tasten/Mausrad eher am zweiten Fingergelenk anstatt Fingerspitzen- geringere Genauigkeit als Evoluent- Handballenauflage sozusagen integriertEvoluent VM4RW 4/5- sehr vertikale Handstellung- führt am Daumen zu Schwitzen- liegt nicht so griffig in der Hand wie Evoluent VMCRW und DeLUX- zusätzliche Handballen-/Unterarmauflage ratsamEvoluent VMCRW 4.5/5- sehr angenehm in der Handhabung- gute Genauigkeit bei zB Photoshop und PC-Spiel (League of Legends)- zusätzliche Handballen-/Unterarmauflage ratsamFalls ich jetzt etwas vergessen haben sollte, bitte einfach einen Kommentar abgeben!

It's not as vertical as Evoluent Vertical Mouse 4
