About this deal

If the cursor does not move, then retry step 3 and plug the Penguin USB cable into a different USB port on your computer The main ergonomic benefit claimed by supporters of the vertical mouse is that you’re arm is not twisted, but is in a more natural position, as the graph below shows.

Then you need decide for yourself if you want a wired or a wireless version. Both have advantages and disadvantages, quite obviously, but I’ll state them here again. The wireless version gives you more freedom to move and takes up less space on your desk. It does, however, take up a USB port with the receiver, so you won’t gain a USB port compared to the wired version. Downside might be the loss of connection, which with a wired version never happens, but with the wireless connection could happen occasionally (although I haven’t experienced any issues with it so far). The wireless version needs to be charged regularly. I don’t know yet how often, but it’s a small downside, compared tho the wired version that never needs to be charged. The charging of the built in battery is easy though, via a special USB cable that comes with the device. If this is true, it does seem to make sense. When using the Penguin and looking at my arm, it does indeed seem like a better position. It makes me realise that my wireless Apple keyboard is actually not ergonomically great at all: when switching from the Penguin to the keyboard, which happens hundreds of times during a work day of course, my arm does seem to have to turn a lot. Time to look into one of the more ergonomic keyboards, I will keep you posted on which one I will get. Control As mentioned before I selected the Large model, and I must say that it doesn’t even feel that large to me. It’s just right, not too big at all.Wired & Wireless Options: All sizes are available in both Wired and Wireless models. The Wireless models have a rechargeable Lithium battery and include a detachable retracting USB charging cord. When I start using the Penguin device, my Apple computer thinks that this is a Keyboard, so I have to cancel the Keyboard Identification process, but the Penguin already works as a mouse, and no installation of any drivers is necessary. Move the mouse with your arm! This may take a while to get used to if you have been using a traditional mouse. Most cursor movement can be accomplished using the arm, with the fingers being used to just complete finer movements.

I take the Penguin out of the box, and feel the soft and smooth materials. Not only very comfortable, but according to a label on the box also very hygienic. The product has an anti-bacterial coating called Silver-Seal, antimicrobial, fungistatic agent which makes the product greener and fresher by inhibiting the growth of microbes, odour-causing bacteria, mould, mildew and fungi on the surface. Why not indeed. As can be seen in the upper illustration to the right, when the hand is placed on the Penguin Ambidextrous Vertical Mouse the twist of the bones is eliminated, tissues are no longer pinched, and the tension along the tendons is released. The relaxed arm is now able to move the mouse with ease, and the risk of developing a serious Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is greatly reduced. At the bottom of the Penguin (you need to turn it upside down to see it), is an ON/OFF switch (wireless model only) and a DPI button, with which you can select the sensitivity of the mouse. The DPI can be switched between 400, 600, 800 and 1200. ButtonsAvailable in 3 sizes of both wired and rechargeable wireless versions, the penguin mouse will suit the hands of almost anyone. Penguin Ambidextrous Vertical MouseFeatures I have selected the wireless version, so I need to take the small 2.4Ghz USB receiver which is stored safely at the bottom of the device, and put it in my USB hub. The USB receiver, DPI button and ON/OFF switch and Laser eye at the bottom of the Penguin Vertical Mouse The scrolling works by turning the wheel horizontally. That works well although you might want to increase its sensitivity in the mouse settings on your computer, as it is not scrolling very fast in standard setting (but that’s a personal preference). DPI Selection Indicator: A blue LED behind the scroll wheel flashes to indicate pointer speed selection.
