Evoluent VerticalMouse 4 Bluetooth — Right-Handed Vertical Mouse (Mac)
Fully vertical handshake gripHands 17.8 cm and longer6 buttons, 4 speeds to 2600 DPIBluetooth, no receiver — Mac only
The Evoluent VerticalMouse 4 is the classic vertical mouse that most ergonomic advice is written about: the patented upright shape holds the right hand in a handshake position so the forearm bones stop crossing, with a thumb rest, a wide lower lip and grooved buttons under the fingers. This is the Bluetooth edition, which pairs directly with a Mac and needs no receiver — and, per Evoluent, is not compatible with Windows, sold by BakkerElkhuizen as BNEEVR4WB, EAN 8717399997164. Six buttons, four pointer speeds from 800 to 2600 DPI with indicator lights, and one AA battery that lasts about three months. Measure your hand and tell us which computer it is for, and we will confirm the right VerticalMouse 4.
Compatibility — check before buying:
Mac only: Evoluent states the Bluetooth VerticalMouse 4 is not compatible with Windows, and no Mac software is offered any more — buttons keep their fixed functions. It pairs over Bluetooth with no receiver. Right-handed only (Evoluent makes a separate left-handed VerticalMouse 4). Size: the regular model is for hands 17.8 cm (7 in) or longer, the Small for hands up to 17.8 cm — the two look identical in photos. Power is one AA alkaline, not rechargeable. Evoluent and BakkerElkhuizen publish no weight or dimensions. The newer VerticalMouse D adds a third size and a 3200 DPI top speed; the 4 remains the model with a Bluetooth option.
Best For
✓ RSI, tendonitis and forearm pain on ergonomic advice
✓ Mac users who want no receiver in the port
✓ Office workers who mouse for hours every day
✓ Occupational-health workstation upgrades
✓ Users who prefer a replaceable AA to charging
✓ MacBook desks with few free ports
Key Features
The upright handshake grip
The VerticalMouse holds the hand fully upright so the forearm bones lie parallel instead of crossed, with a thumb rest and an extended lower lip that keeps the little finger off the desk.
Six buttons, four speeds
Left, middle and right on the finger side, two thumb buttons and a wheel click. A switch steps the optical sensor through 800, 1300, 1800 and 2600 DPI, with three indicator LEDs.
Bluetooth for the Mac
Pairs directly with macOS over Bluetooth — nothing to plug in. One AA alkaline runs about three months. Windows is not supported.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Bluetooth VerticalMouse 4 work with Windows?
No — Evoluent states it is Mac only. For a Windows PC choose the wireless BNEEVR4W (regular) or BNEEVR4SW (small) with the USB receiver.
Is there a left-handed version?
Yes, Evoluent makes a left-handed VerticalMouse 4; this article is right-handed. Ask us.
VerticalMouse 4 or VerticalMouse D?
The D is the newer model with three sizes and 3200 DPI; the 4 has the Bluetooth (Mac) option and the small/regular split. Both share the six-button vertical shape and AA power.
How long does it take to get used to?
A few days to a week. Start at the lowest speed and rest the thumb on its rest; the wrist stops twisting immediately.
Singular Expert Insight
Buy this edition for one reason: a Mac and no receiver. Everyone on Windows should take the receiver version. If you need Bluetooth on Windows or a rechargeable battery, the HP 925 in our wireless mice range is the mainstream alternative — ask us to match one to your hand.
