Hi All,

I have been tasked to source a left-handed vertical mouse for one of our DSE users and of course, I want to try and ensure I get the most suitable one. I have found one or two that I believe would do the job but I just wondered if anyone has any experience of sourcing and using these that they wouldn't mind sharing with me please?

Kind Regards

Booney

Hi Andy,

yes, it was the Keytools site where I found some - I looked at the Evoluent and the AirObic (quill) and we particularly liked the one that looked like a joystick but unfortunately this is not available in a left-hand version (unless anyone can tell me any different?)

Hi Booney

I have recommended the Evoluent Vertical Mouse on a number of occasions with positive feedback from the users.

I prefer the vertical mouse to the joystick type as they look and feel a bit closer to the normal use of a mouse. I find that this helps the user to get used to the new mouse and helps to get rid of any reticence on trying a new piece of equipment.

Cheers

Jon

Hi Booney

I have several of the Quill mice here, in both left and right handed form. I can say tha tthey are very good, but as with all mice, they might not be suitable for everyone.

Have you tried looking at the Posturite site?

www.posturite.co.uk

There are numerous different mice there. Ask them if they can send you a couple of options to trial, I understand they are pretty receptive to that.

Nick.
