I switched to a vertical mouse and I’m never looking back. Here’s why.
Over the next decade or so, I used the Evoluent mouse nonstop, to the point where its buttons started to malfunction and the whole unit started looking grubby.

We can manipulate the accessibility of the field with setAccessible (this is considered risky because it […]
