Is the VerticalMouse 2 Worth a Thumbs Up?

Unfortunately, Evoluent’s VerticalMouse 2, which we review today, doesn’t win any crazy and kooky awards. In fact, it’s best described as a regular-looking mouse that’s been turned 90 degrees clockwise (counterclockwise for the lefties). The idea is to allow your arm to control the mouse in a more natural position, with the thumb up, in a hand-shaking position. Doctors who specialize in ergonomics consider this position preferable. And because it resembles a regular mouse, there’s no real learning curve when you start using it.

It doesn’t do much for me, but your opinion may vary. Check out the full review at Extreme Tech.
