People have become increasingly aware of the consequences of their actions: either in diet or in the position and overuse of computer mice. If you are a computer addict and spend many hours in front of it you know that you may experience some discomfort  after staying too long in front of the computer. Doctors and researchers have found out that many people may suffer from various diseases and illnesses because of the position of their hand during computer use. For example when you use a regular computer mouse, your hand must stay in an unnatural position, with the palm down and in this way there is a tension in the arm, hand and hand wrist. The hand wrist is the part of the body that is most likely to suffer from RSI (repetitive strain injury), cold hands - that is the circulation of the blood is made more difficult, because of the pressure put on the hand wrist and blood vessels that are there. These are only several of many health problems that may appear during a prolonged use of computer mouse and keyboard. Well, that is the reason why manufacturing companies have decided to produce ergonomic computer mice. Ergonomics is another branch of science that deals with the changing of the furniture (chairs , armchairs) and all things used by the man in order to ensure the corect position of the body and also to offer a natural position , thus a more comfortable position. In the field of computer peripherals there is a real fashion to produce and purchase ergonomic equipment. All this equipment looks a little bit strabge, but it seems like it is really comfortable. Computer mice, for example, have a real strange futuristic shape when they come in their ergonomic version.

The latest innovation in ergonomic computer mice is the vertical mouse. It was invented and produced by the big companies that manufacture computer mice after a long period of testing and research. The only problem is that most producers and most ergonomic mice are situated mostly in America and Europe. But there are a lot of people in the eastern area of the world; a lot of people in fact. So people wanted to know if they can buy some vertical computer mice in Singapore, for example. The answer is YES, you can, but they are made in Korea. Nevermind, they are still ergonomic and still vertical, only cheaper than the rest ( for example Evoluent or Logitech Renaissance). This interesting mouse is called Vaax vertical mouse. It sdesign is ergonomic for sure.



I think that this ergonomic design looks a lot like Evoluent, except the fact that it is smaller.  Like any other computer mouse, it has two main buttons for right click and left click which are positioned at the tip of your fingers, on one side of the mouse. Between them we can see the scroll which makes it perfect for navigation. There is also a special place carved in the shell of the computer mouse specially for the thumb. The thumb is also considered when the ergonomic design allows this digit to rest in a comfortable manner and in a normal position. The vertical design makes it look somewhat like a space ship from Star treck series, but it is the one perfect position that allows the hand to rest in a neutral comfortable manner avoiding all kinds of injuries or pain in the wrist and arm. The picture above is very explicit when it comes to the ergonomic advantages of the vertical position of the computer mouse. You can find this mouse both in cord and cordless version and everything for a really good price (around $50 on ebay). It is compatible with both Mac OX and Windows. Its resolution is 1600dpi and has a 3D button .

The familiar grip also called "handshake position" eliminates stress and avoids such illnesses as carpal tunnel syndrome and all the other impairments of the hand I mentioned before. The wireless version of this mouse does not need special and additional software, but a simple USB receiver that can be connected in a USB port either on a desktop computer, but also on a laptop. There is a smaller version of this vertical computer mouse called Nano available for children or people with small hands or even for laptop use. It is obvious that the smaller size of a laptop is not compatible with a large size mouse, so the nano version seems perfect for your laptop.



So the Asian version of the vertical mouse seems to be ok. We all know how much Asians like gadgets and spending time on their computers, so this vertical computer mouse is the right choice for them. And not only, because I have seen it on ebay and now you have the possibility to purchase it online and it will be sent to you in a matter of days, no matter where you live, in what corner of the world. So if Logitech can do that, why can't they? good for them.
