Stop Wrist Pain Before It Starts

Traditional mice force your wrist into an unnatural, palm-down position that strains tendons and compresses nerves. If you're experiencing wrist discomfort, numbness, or early signs of carpal tunnel syndrome, your mouse is likely the culprit.

The Evoluent VerticalMouse C Solution

The VerticalMouse C positions your hand in a neutral handshake grip—the same relaxed position your arm naturally assumes when hanging at your side. This patented vertical design eliminates forearm twisting (pronation) and reduces wrist extension, addressing the two primary biomechanical risk factors for repetitive strain injuries.

Ergonomic Benefits

• Neutral wrist posture: Handshake position eliminates forearm rotation
• Reduced grip force: Textured surface requires less muscle tension
• Natural arm alignment: Prevents ulnar deviation and wrist extension
• All-day comfort: Contoured shape supports the hand without pressure points

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this mouse work for left-handed users?

No, the VerticalMouse C is designed exclusively for right-handed use. Left-handed users should consider the Evoluent VerticalMouse D, which offers both left and right-handed versions.

How long does it take to adjust to a vertical mouse?

Most users adapt within 3–7 days. Initial precision may feel different, but muscle memory develops quickly. The ergonomic benefits—reduced wrist pain and strain—are typically noticeable within the first week.

What hand size is this mouse best suited for?

The VerticalMouse C fits small to medium-sized hands comfortably. Users with larger hands (palm length over 7.5 inches) may prefer the VerticalMouse 4, which offers a larger grip surface.

Can this mouse prevent carpal tunnel syndrome?

While no device can guarantee prevention, the VerticalMouse C addresses two major biomechanical risk factors: forearm pronation and wrist extension. By maintaining a neutral wrist posture, it significantly reduces strain on the median nerve and surrounding tendons.

Is the wireless connection reliable for professional use?

Yes. The 2.4GHz wireless connection provides stable, lag-free performance suitable for precision work including design, CAD, and data entry. Battery life supports weeks of typical use.

Do I need special software or drivers?

No. The VerticalMouse C is plug-and-play on both Windows and Mac. Simply insert the USB receiver and start using immediately.

How does this compare to the VerticalMouse 4?

The VerticalMouse C offers the same core ergonomic design at a lower price point. The VM4 adds programmable buttons, adjustable pointer speed, and a larger size. For most users seeking wrist pain relief, the C model delivers excellent value.
