    Evoluent VerticalMouse 2

    The Evoluent VerticalMouse 2 has a patented new shape that supports your hand in a relaxed handshake position and eliminates arm twisting.




    Right and left hand models available.

    Eliminates Arm Twisting

    The patented shape supports your hand in a relaxed handshake position that eliminates forearm twisting. You will quickly become accustomed to the improved comfort.




    An ordinary horizontal mouse requires your forearm to twist away from its natural position.

    The grip is the same as an ordinary mouse, just turned sideways, and the buttons are operated by the same fingers. There is virtually no retraining necessary.

    The button force is light for easy clicking, but still firm enough to avoid accidental actuation. The mouse does not move sideways when clicking with normal force. Pointer control is as accurate as any other good mouse.

    1200 dpi true optical resolution sensor reduces hand movements. Great for games. (Other mice have 800 dpi)




    5 programmable buttons with 59 selectable functions each, plus special features such as:

    Vertical scroll - press a button and drag the mouse to scroll with greater precision and control than the scroll wheel.

    Auto click - automatically perform a double click by pausing the pointer.

    Click lock - press and hold a button momentarily to simulate continued pressing without holding down the button.

    Compatibility

    1 button in OS9, 2 buttons and scroller without additional driver in OS 10 or higher.
    Third party driver available for extra cost at http://www.usboverdrive.com enables all buttons.

    Household name?

    Just read the story over at maccentral.com, and they mentioned the company is in Dublin, Ireland. Yet, looking at the whois.org record, the domain is registered to a Russian in Moscow.

    That was enough to put me off. And what is the deal with the customer testimonials (http://www.lismoresystems.com/why.html)?

    Maybe I am over-reacting.

    Blue Label

    I believe Guest PC was formerly known as Blue Label Emulator. Also Russian, I believe.
