Introducing the Mobi Mouse House Cheese Wheel Server, the perfect whimsical addition to your serving collection! This charming presentation piece allows you to serve and enjoy your favorite cheeses with style.
The dishwasher-safe cheese knife tools are ingeniously stored in openings within the cheese wheel server board. Each mouse-shaped tool has its own hideaway hole with magnetic attachment, ensuring they're always conveniently at hand and never misplaced. Plus, rest assured knowing that this cheese wheel server is BPA-free and recyclable, making it both safe for your food and environmentally friendly.
I'm building a course that starts with a slide where the users can choose the language they prefer. The buttons display and function perfectly when played on a computer, but if I open the course on my smartphone, it will not open the layer with the button animation when I tap on it (it does play the animation if I keep my finger on the button - but only that, I can't move further).
I tried removing the hover trigger from one of your buttons, and you're right, it works without the hover trigger but not with both the hover and click triggers on the button. I'm not sure if this is by design or not.
I removed the hover trigger from the English button as a test, and then on the English layer I set the Jump trigger to 0.5s to give the animation time to finish. I'm not sure if this gets you any closer to what you're trying to do. Take a look at the attached project.
While the Hover trigger is activated by long-pressing on the slide object, the click trigger won't be able to fire. Michael's idea to use a click trigger instead, paired with a trigger to hide the layer after animation, would be the best way to handle this interaction consistently across mobile and desktop browsers.
The Evoluent Vertical Mouse 4 costs close to 100. Let's get that out of the way. This is a pretty expensive mouse. Considering they give away basic USB mice with cornflakes, why would anyone spend the cost of a Kindle on a pointing device?
I'm in love with the Evoluent Vertical Mouse. I got my first (the generation 2) in 2007. A few years later I got a 3rd generation so I could use one at home and one at work.
Enter the 4th generation - the VM4R. There's a VM4L for those sinister south-paws, and a VM4S for those with smaller hands.
Here's all three of my mice playing together.
The VM4R is similar in size and shape to the previous versions.
It has a wider base and a larger lip to stop your finger from dragging along the desk.
Impressively, Evoluent use "environmentally-responsible" packaging. Essentially a cardboard box and some bubble wrap. I was nervous that this wouldn't be enough to protect it in transit - but the mouse is pretty tough.
The box contains some brief instructions and a mini-cd containing Windows drivers.
"The vertical mouse received very good feedback from the product testing. Our product testing team of physical therapists, ergonomists, MD's and administrators found the mouse to be comfortable, easily adaptable and promoted a neutral wrist/forearm postures."

My index finger is near worn out from 3 decades of clicking crappy mice. I'm now able to map the buttons so that my thumb can click. A lifesaver for me. As a bonus - anyone who sits at my desk finds themselves unable to fiddle with anything because they can't work out how to click!
The VM4R comes with a dedicated button for switching the speed of the mouse pointer.
A simple click sets the speed which can easily be seen via the LEDs.
This is a vast improvement on the 3rd gen model where the button was underneath the device.
The advantage is that you can use a high-speed mouse so you don't have to move your wrist or arm very far as you go from one end of the screen to the other. It also means you can rapidly change to a lower sensitivity when you're working on something which needs very fine grained control - like pushing pixels in Photoshop. I imagine this mouse is great for gamers who require a fast reacting device.
Scrolling with the wheel makes a really loud clicking sound. With the 2nd generation mouse there was no clicking. The third generation lightly clicks as you scroll. The clicking on the VM4R is loud and, to my fingers, slightly stiff.
Personally, I prefer a free-spinning wheel. But it's not the end of the world.
Fingers sweat. It's not pretty, but there it is. Human skin leaks all kinds of gunk - some of which is corrosive. I found the surface of my 2nd generation mouse was gently worn away over time.
The 3rd gen mouse is made from a different material which doesn't seem to suffer from this problem.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the Evoluent line of pointing devices.
You can buy the Evoluent VM4R from Amazon (affiliate link) or directly from Evoluent (although international shipping is expensive).
The upgrades in VM4R are impressive - but if you don't often need to change pointer speed, or use thumb buttons, buy the VM3.
The basic mouse functions work automagically in Linux (tested on Ubuntu 9.10 and higher). The buttons are responsive, the wheel scrolls, changing the pointer speed works, etc. A point to note is that the the wheel click does not paste - to get that, you'll need to remap the buttons.
Remapping the buttons is slightly trickier, however. Not least because of Ubuntu's seemingly random changes to how it handles pointing devices. If you're happy with the buttons just as they are, you'll be fine. If you need to remap the buttons due to mobility issues, read on....
I know that it have been few years sinse the original post, but for those who will find this artickle when searching for how to turn off the LED on Vertical Mouse 4 I'll put the answer from the manufacturer's site here:
Thanks for your excellent review of the Evoluent Vertical Mouse 4. I've just got one for work due to increasing pain in my wrist/hands from RSI. Did you find it took a while for your wrists to stop being painful after you started using the Evoluent VM, or was it quite quick?
I've also just got the Microsoft 4000 (natural ergonic keyboard), which I see you're quite fond of! How have you found it? I'm hoping it will also help reduce the strain to my wrists - it seems quite comfortable, the only thing is it is quite wide so I find I have to reach over more to move the mouse.
Best thing you can do, in my opinion, is take a week off from using your hands and wrists. A week with no mouse dragging, or typing. Let your hands and wrists relax and recover. If you can take a two week holiday - so much the better. Although you'll probably suffer from Internet withdrawal ?
Yeah that is a good idea, unfortunately I've just used up my leave moving house! (doh!) all the heavy lifting boxes didn't help me thinks. Oh well, hopefully I'll get a bit of a break at Christmas...
Yes I'm going to see my Dr as well to see what they can recommend ?
I have used the Evoluent Mouse since 2011, now the Evoluent 4, and I was very happy with it. But last week, I have upgraded my Mac to the 10.9.5 system. Since then, I cannot auto scroll up and down and cannot go from left to right with the mouse. The Evoluent support people are not helpful really.
Cool, thanks for this tutorial. The mapping works like a charm.
By the way: I find the "correct" Xorg.conf.d way not only more complicated, but also less stable due to the fact that the USB ID changes if you ever plug your mouse into another usb port.
In the lazy xinput way the Mouse ID changes aswell, but I find it much easier to just grep the id dynamically out of the xinput list and then run the command in a startup script.
So the way I do it is:
xinput --set-button-map $(xinput listgrep -i "evoluent verticalmouse"grep -o "id=[0-9]*"grep -o '[0-9]*') 1 3 3 4 5 6 7 9 2 8 11 12 13 14
I have now gone thru three Evoluent vertical mice. Every single one of them eventually developed this weird behavior where the wheel input is "not stable". Example, you are gently wheeling it one detent at a time to scroll a page, then the page jumps back up or down half a page or more. I have not been able to find a consistent case one way or another. Sometimes it works fine for some time, then starts doing this - it is super frustrating. I have to fly my pointer over to the scroll bar handle on a window (I make those show at all times contrary to some UI preferences) and click/hold that to be able to gently drag the page up and down without this annoying unstable wheeling behavior. Any ideas what is going on?
My evoluent VM4RW stopped working all of sudden, I changed battery but still nothing. I don't understand what the problem is, I emailed helpdesk but haven't heard back from then yet. I was wondering if anyone else faced the similar issue.
Thanks!!
To turn OFF the glowing Evoluent LED, unplug the mouse (or turn off your computer). HOLD down the Pointer Speed negative (-) button on the side of the mouse (this is the same rocker than changes LED speed indicators). While holding down the - button, plug the mouse in or start your computer. The glowing Evoluent LED will now remain off.
