| Eliminates arm twisting |
 The patented shape supports your hand in a fully upright handshake position that eliminates forearm twisting. Many users said earlier models relieved their hand, wrist, or arm pain. See these actual user comments.
An ordinary horizontal mouse requires your forearm to twist away from its natural position.

| Familiar grip |
 The grip is the same as an ordinary mouse, just turned sideways. Many users said they got used to it very quickly.
The VerticalMouse does not move sideways when clicking with normal force because the thumb naturally opposes the fingers. Pointer control is as accurate as any other good mouse when the pointer speed settings are properly adjusted.

Easy to use buttons
|
All 5 buttons are easily operable without contorting your fingers. The button force is light for easy clicking, but still firm enough to avoid accidental actuation. |
|
|
| Fits different size hands |
The new shape fits larger hands as well as smaller hands. |
|
|
| Prevents desk rubbing |
A small lip on the bottom edge prevents the little finger from rubbing the desk. |
|
|
| High performance tracking |
An Avago 3080 infrared sensor with 2200 dpi optical resolution moves the pointer quickly to reduce hand movements. The high performance gaming grade sensor tracks more accurately on most surfaces than laser sensors. |

Programmable buttons
(XP Pro, XP Home, Vista 32) |
5 buttons are each programmable with different functions in different applications. For example, a button can be Double Click in one application and Ctrl in another application. |
|
|
Special functions
(XP Pro, XP Home, Vista 32) |
Speed toggle - cycle among up to 3 pointer speed settings with a keyboard shortcut or mouse button. For example, a high speed for ordinary tasks, and a slow speed for graphics work.
Auto click - automatically perform a single or double click by pausing the pointer. Adjustable time delay for activation.
Click lock - press and hold a button momentarily to simulate continued pressing without holding down the button. Adjustable time delay for activation.
