So let's compare the two products side by side, Evoluent vs Anker. Note that I am just over 7 inches from my wrist crease to the tip of my middle finger. This puts me right on the border for Evoluent between normal and small versions. If you are in the same boat, go the smaller size with Evoluent, provided you don't opt for the Anker.
1. Size
Evoluent (standard size) felt a bit too big for my hands. The cheap plastic is also very slippery, making it difficult to pick up the mouse and move it if you are at the edge of the mouse pad (and you do need a mouse pad with Evoluent). Anker fits my hand perfectly. I simply LOVE holding the mouse. It has a really nice rubbery matte finish that prevents your hand from slipping.
2. Hand Position
Both Anker and Evoluent offer the handshake position. I would say that Evoluent hand position is about 80 degrees between table top and your wrist. For comparison, regular mouse would have your wrist at 0 degrees. Anker holds your wrist at about 65 degrees. It is debatable whether 80 or 65 degrees is better. With both mice I felt immediate relief of wrist tension. Going back to 0 degree traditional mouse position feels immediately awkward. It is a toss up between the Anker and Evoluent with a slight edge given to Evoluent, just because they have a bit of science in their product marketing.
3. Usability
This is personal, but for me Anker wins hands down in this category. Anker feels intuitive right out the box. You click with left finger and right click with the right. The back/forward thumb buttons were also very intuitive for me. This is similar to most Logitech mice. Mouse buttons on Anker have nice rigidity to them. Evoluent, on the other hand, takes some getting used to. It is a big clunky thing that slips out of your hand. Left finger does the left click. But it is, by default, you pinkie and ring-finger that do the right clicking. You can also reassign right click to the middle mouse button, but somehow it feels awkward and you keep pressing the default right click button anyway. Also, it is EXTREMELY easy to accidentally click on Evoluent. Buttons are cheap and plastic, and the scroll wheel is a complete joke. Granted, Anker's mouse wheel is not stellar, but it works well. I must have the newer batch, as I cannot relate to any of the scroll wheel problems mentioned in review. Don't forget Evoluent's back/forward mouse buttons. They are awkward to use at first, but you get accustomed to the arrangement. Matter of preference here.
4. Tracking
Evoluent tracking is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. I have a black Ikea Galant desk. It's not shiny, just wood with black matte veneer. Everything tracks on it....... except the Evoluent mouse. So you HAVE to get a mouse pad. And be careful, you won't get tracking on every mouse pad, even if it is matte black. This is on a $100+ mouse!!! On the other end of the spectrum, Anker tracks on everything except glass. This is a $20 mouse.
In summary, there is not much to chose from in the vertical mouse arena. So get the Anker vertical mouse, get rid of wrist strain... and save Evoluent for the fanboys.

In summary, there is not much to chose from in the vertical mouse arena. So get the Anker vertical mouse, get rid of wrist strain... and save Evoluent for the fanboys.
From the onset it had an unusual feel to it as far as making it work. It wasn't a bad thing, just different. It did move very nicely on the new Anker mouse pad I'd purchased to use with it. I noticed on the side of the box the way one's hand, arm, wrist normally move with a regular mouse versus the difference (shown on the diagram) there would be with the vertical mouse. Since I also have problems with my thumbs, I still wasn't sure it was going to work for me.
As I used it that first day, it didn't take too many hours before I realized it was probably going to help the normal pain that comes from grabbing a regular mouse when you have hand and wrist difficulties, but it was going to take time to get used to. The hand and the brain have to learn how to use the new equipment properly. However, I wasn't real satisfied in regards to my thumb having problems. On the second day, I began to observe I was actually trying to grip the mouse too far up with my entire hand. For me, I learned if I could touch the wheel with my middle finger and scroll, that was far enough up with my grip. As my grip lessened and I allowed the middle finger to use the scroll things became easier. The left and right mouse buttons were easy to work once I got used to the different position of my hand. I then began using the buttons up from the thumb to make the pages go left and right which is a nice feature, but one of the features I seem to easily forget is available to me. It took me until about the third day of working with it to realize my thumb just had some new muscles it was working that it had to get used to and then the pain there began to ease. Now, things are working quite well. I'm days down the road with the new vertical mouse and I'm pretty much used to it. There is much less pain in my hand than with the old mouse and the ache in the thumb seems to have dissipated by learning to use the new muscles it has to use. There has been a learning curve for me with it due to the pain I have in my hands, but I'm glad I stuck with it because I think overall it's going to be much better for me ergonomically. If you try it and you hurt, give it some time before you give up. Like I mentioned earlier, I think it's a matter of both the hand and the brain getting used to a totally different feel and movement to the mouse.
UPDATE: This vertical mouse has been such a great device for me with wrist and hand problems. The ache is less, numbness is also much less. A year after using it, it is second nature to use, comfortable and is in great condition. I really like it and the relief it has brought to my hand, fingers and arm as it has been used for over a year now and works like it is new. I really really like it.
