Review on Evoluent VMDLW VerticalMouse Ergonomic Connection by Derrick Wilson

Makes your hands sweaty!

So here's the thing. I've been using this for about a week now. There is definitely a learning curve, as I expected. It's easy to click the two buttons next to the thumb position if you're not careful, but this is just one of those things. If it really bothers you, you can just disable these buttons - most mice don't have those extra buttons anyway. But here is my main problem with it. it makes my hand sweat. The surface is hard plastic but I think a light rubberized layer on the outside would make it 1000 times better. Like the back of some cell phones or even like my Logitech M310. It's a thin layer that looks like rubber. This will help you hold it better and your palm won't sweat as much as it does. I will try to find a way to add something to make it more user friendly. I'm a little disappointed that I paid $114 for a mouse that doesn't offer these basic comforts. In fact, I haven't seen a mouse in 10 years that doesn't have a grippy texture. It's a bit of a shame. But the main reason I got it was to help with my wrist pain and it's too early to know if it works but it definitely doesn't hurt me any more than before so that's it a good thing. I was a little worried that doing a 90 degree turn from what I'm used to would be difficult and awkward, but so far so good.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • For old
