Product Information
Full details
The Posturite Penguin Vertical Mouse is designed for office professionals and heavy computer users seeking to minimize wrist strain and combat repetitive strain injuries through a neutral, vertical grip. Its primary benefit is the promotion of a healthier, ergonomic posture by allowing both hands to share the workload and preventing the wrist compression associated with traditional mice, though users transitioning from a standard mouse may require a brief period to adapt to the unique vertical orientation.

Measure your hand from the first crease on your wrist to the tip of your middle finger. The Large model is designed for hands 18cm or longer.
Can this mouse be used by left-handed people?

Does it require special software to work?

Can I adjust the sensitivity of the cursor?
Yes, the mouse supports 4 different movement resolution modes, allowing you to cycle through DPI settings to find your preferred cursor speed.
Is this mouse suitable for gaming?
While it features a precise laser sensor, it is primarily designed for office and professional ergonomic use rather than high-performance gaming.
Troubleshooting
Cursor movement is erratic or laggy
Ensure the mouse is within range of the USB receiver, and move the receiver closer if there are metal objects blocking the signal.
Mouse is not detected by the computer
Unplug the wireless receiver and re-insert it into a different USB port, preferably one directly on the computer tower.
Buttons are not performing assigned actions
Verify that the latest drivers for your operating system are installed, and check your system mouse settings to ensure the buttons are correctly mapped.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Penguin is straightforward thanks to its Plug and Play capability; simply insert the wireless receiver into a USB port on your PC or Mac, and the operating system will automatically recognize the device. Ensure the mouse is charged or has fresh batteries as required. Compatibility extends to both Windows and Mac operating systems, making it a versatile choice for mixed-OS offices.

Because of its antimicrobial properties, avoid using harsh chemical solvents that could damage the protective coating. Regularly store the wireless receiver in the mouse or a secure location when transporting the device.
