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.

By D. Montgomery
As a software developer, I spend eight to ten hours every day in front of my workstation.Several years ago, I starting using my left hand for mousing because of chronic pain in my right shoulder. It was a good switch for me, though after a few years I started to feel some pain and general numbness in my left hand after long days at work.After purchasing the Evoluent vertical mouse, my wrist discomfort and numbness went away after the FIRST DAY of use! If you haven't already read the product literature on the Evoluent web site, go read it.I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a more ergonomic mouse.

By M. Ryan
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.
