• Hold the VerticalMouse with your fingertips.
• Put the edge of your hand on your desk.
• Move the mouse mostly by moving your fingers, not your entire arm.

• Tilt up the left side of a right-handed mouse to disable tracking, or tilt up the right side of a left-handed mouse.
• Slide the mouse without moving the pointer.

• It is very important to have your forearm in a horizontal position. The optimal arm angle may be achieved by raising your chair or using an underdesk keyboard tray to lower the mouse.
• Position the mouse close to you to avoid extending your arm outwards.
• Relax your shoulder.

VerticalMouse D, VerticalMouse 4

Top button – left click

Wheel button – forward

Middle button – wheel/middle click

Bottom button – right click

Upper thumb button – back

Bottom thumb button – requires driver to function

VerticalMouse C

Top button – left click

Wheel button – there is no wheel click on VMC

Middle button – wheel/middle click

Bottom button – right click

Upper thumb button – back

Bottom thumb button – requires driver to function

• On the VerticalMouse, there are three flat buttons on the side. Evoluent makes the middle button perform the middle click, also known as wheel click, because pressing a flat button is more comfortable than pressing a wheel as is common with other mice.
• Early computer mice had three buttons but no wheel. When the wheel was introduced, it doubled as the middle button since horizontal mice are not wide enough for three buttons and a wheel.
• Evoluent VerticalMouse has enough height to provide three proper buttons again. If you prefer the wheel for wheel click, please download the driver to program the wheel button as wheel click.

• When the driver is installed, some button functions are different from system default. Open Mouse Manager to check the functions.
• The program or app you are using might be customized with different button functions than the global settings on the Buttons tab. In Mouse Manager, open Customize Buttons for Different Programs to check whether your programs has been customized.

When the driver is installed, and the Eye Comfort function is enabled with Dim Pop-Ups selected, the right click menu does not appear in some Microsoft Office programs when nothing in the document is selected. This issue may be avoided by changing the dimming method to Undim Pop-Ups.

Your system might be configured for a horizontal left-handed mouse. Go to Control Panel, Mouse, Buttons tab to uncheck Switch Primary and Secondary Buttons.

If you often unintentionally press a button, you may disable the button. Please install the driver and select the Disabled function for the button.

The desk surface may be too reflective. Test the mouse on a piece of white printer paper. If it tracks correctly on the paper, the mouse is working properly. Use a mouse pad to improve tracking.

• Go to Control Panel, Mouse, Pointer Options to uncheck the box for Enhance Pointer Precision (this system feature actually makes the pointer jumpy).
• Adjust the pointer speed with the pointer speed slider in Mouse, Pointer Options.
• Press the pointer speed button behind the wheel to select a slower speed for more precise control.

Earlier models have an illuminated logo that cannot be turned off. Later models may be turned off this way:

1. Unplug the VerticalMouse 4 when the computer is on.
2. Press and hold the – end of the pointer speed button and plug in the USB connector. If your mouse is a later production unit, the logo will turn off. To turn on the logo again, press and hold the + end of the pointer speed button when you plug in the USB connector.

• Slide the power switch on the bottom of the mouse to the green position.
• Install a fresh battery with the + terminal facing out.
• Remove the receiver and reinsert it to see if Windows makes the disconnect and reconnect sounds. Ensure that computer speakers are connected and the volume is turned on.
• The receiver might not be paired with the VerticalMouse. Pair the receiver with the mouse according to the instructions below

• The battery may be running low. Replace the battery if the pointer speed lights are blinking rapidly whenever the mouse is moved.
• The mousing surface may be too reflective for the sensor. Try a non-reflective mouse pad.
• The receiver may be suffering from signal interference due to proximity to other USB devices or cables. Use another USB port farther away from other USB devices or plugs, or use an USB extension to position the receiver even farther away.

VerticalMouse 4 Right Mac and Bluetooth models do not have receivers. They connect to Mac computers via the computers’ built-in Bluetooth function.

The lights blink rapidly when the battery is low. Replace the battery.

On VM4, VMC and VMD models:

1. Press and hold the top thumb button.
2. Turn on the power switch. The lights will flash on, off, and on again.
3. Quickly insert the receiver into a USB port. The lights will flash twice when pairing is successful.
4. Release the thumb button.

VM4 with a small pairing hole on the bottom above the signature:

1. Slide the power switch under the mouse to the On or green position.
2. Insert the receiver in a USB port.
3. Download the receiver pairing utility here (for Windows only). Click Run. When it finishes downloading, click Run again to start the utility and follow its instructions.

• Windows enables the mouse to wake the computer from sleep by moving it. The setting is in Control Panel, Device Manager, Mice and other pointing devices, Evoluent VerticalMouse, Power Management.
• Slight vibrations to the desk may result in the mouse moving enough to unintentionally wake the computer. This issue may be prevented by disabling the wake feature in Power Management.
• Windows always enables this feature again whenever the mouse is plugged in, when the driver is first installed, or when the driver is reinstalled. To prevent the mouse from inadvertently waking the computer, disable the feature again after plugging in the mouse or installing driver updates.
• This task may be made more convenient by creating and running a simple file that disables the wake setting.
  1. On the desktop, right click and select New, Text Document.
  2. Double click on the file to open it. Copy and paste the following one line of text into it:

     powercfg /devicedisablewake “Evoluent VerticalMouse”

  3. Save and close the file.
  4. Rename the file extension from .txt to .bat (to see the file extension, you may have to uncheck “Hide extensions for know file types” in system folder options)
  5. To run the file, right click the file and click Run as Administrator.
  6. After it is run, VerticalMouse will not wake the computer when it is moved, until the next time it is plugged in again or the driver is updated.

The shortcut on the top row are supported by Windows. They may not work in other operating systems.
