Why Go Vertical?

Do you work at a computer?

Then your mousing position is critically important.

-

Mousing in a vertical "handshake" position aligns your wrist and shoulder in a healthy position.

-

You can experience this improved position right now!

-

Pin your elbows at your sides, then roll your wrists out to face your palms up toward the sky. We call this the "Om" position for the sound meditators make. Do you feel your shoulders rotating away from your chest?

-

That new shoulder position is external rotation. And external rotation is the healthiest position for your shoulders to occupy under load or for long durations.

-

It makes everything stable and well-organized, because it’s how your shoulders are designed to be used. And it protects against tense shoulders, back pain, and neck pain.

-

Om helps put your shoulder in a healthy position - and it also aligns your wrist and forearm.

-

When you mouse in a conventional flat position, your forearm is twisting with the two bones crossed over, requiring the muscles of your elbow and wrist to be either fully elongated or fully shortened, depending on the muscle. Then your wrist has to bend back to place your hand above the mouse, creating tension and increasing the likelihood of muscle knots and pain.

-

And since flat mousing puts your shoulder into a weaker position, you're more likely compensate and find stability by putting weight on your wrist, increasing the risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome.

-

But when you mouse in the vertical handshake position, your forearm and wrist are aligned, easing tension and pressure through the whole chain. And because you're in a strong, stable position, you're much less likely to put too much weight on your wrist.

-

Om makes sure you feel good while you work, and after.

Great Vertical Mouse with fantastic value!

Due to fatigue caused by my long working hours with the mouse, the vertical mouse has been a big helper. I have been using the Logitech MX vertical mouse, but it doesn't last due to its short switch life that never got updates and it has been the too costly option until I tried the OM mouse.
PLUS:
- Ergonomics
- Programmable buttons without any software installation (office-safe!)
- Stat screen display for monitoring dpi, connection, battery life
Minus:
- Smooth finish plastic for main body could be improved with PBT finish for durability

This is a fantastic value Vertical mouse period!

Excellent mouse!

I have only had mine for a few hours, and I already love it! This will be my 3rd vertical mouse, and I have to say, this is the best one yet. I'm actually glad the scroll wheel broke on my other one and I had to replace it! I do have a complaint. The blue connect button on the bottom of the mouse drags and makes the movement of the mouse not quite smooth. It's minor, but perhaps move that button in a future version? Also, just a side note, for the programable buttons, my laptop has F2 assigned to volume down. I had remapped my keyboard keys to have F2 be the key to open file explorer, but when I assigned the button on the mouse to F2, it did nothing. Only when I assigned it to volume down did it actually work. It would be helpful to include that in the tutorial for assigning the buttons.

Love it! That little screen is gangsta!

Love it. I have an old school marble mouse that's no longer made. The switches were failing and I was planning on fixing it until I bought the OM. Fantastic. Love the DPI button, customizable buttons and that little screen! Another great product from ErgoDriven! Congrats! - Keno

Good changeup

This is a nice mouse, plenty responsive, and provides me a nice break from using my trackball for precision work.
