Why a vertical mouse and what the MVS490 can do

A classic mouse forces the wrist into a position where the forearm bones cross – leading to fatigue, pain, and in extreme cases, carpal tunnel syndrome. The vertical shape of the Eternico MVS490 holds the hand in a more natural “handshake” position. The transition takes a few minutes, but most users in reviews write that they wouldn’t go back to a regular mouse.

Connects to three devices simultaneously: leave the USB receiver in your desktop, pair your laptop and perhaps a tablet via Bluetooth. Switching is done with a single button. The rechargeable 700mAh Li-Ion battery charges via USB-C (cable included), and the mouse works even while charging. Six silent buttons including the scroll wheel and forward/back buttons, adjustable DPI (800, 1,200, 1,800, 2,400). The weight is only 110 g.

What 347 customers say

Most common praise: fits perfectly in the hand, silent buttons, end of wrist pain, and surprisingly good battery life. Several reviewers appreciate that the backlighting can be completely turned off and that Plug & Play works without driver installation on both Windows and macOS.

Recurring criticisms: for users with larger hands (L–XL), the mouse may be slightly smaller than ideal. Several reviews mention the scroll wheel – its movement is not entirely smooth, and the material is rougher. One user points out that the exact battery charge percentage cannot be determined. And occasionally, there’s a mention that the backlighting cannot be turned off – but according to other reviewers, following the instructions is enough.

Verdict

The Eternico MVS490 for 279 CZK is the type of product one buys out of curiosity – and then wonders why they didn’t get a vertical mouse sooner. For less than three hundred crowns, you get a wireless mouse with Bluetooth, USB-C charging, and silent buttons. It’s not a mouse for graphic designers or gamers, but for office work, emails, and web browsing, it’s a hard-to-beat choice at this price. And if you’re left-handed – a left-handed version is available for a similar price.
