Anker Vertical Ergonomic Mouse
The default budget pick for right-handed users trying a vertical mouse without committing to a $100 Logitech MX.
- Amazon price
- $29.99
- Customer rating
- 4.2 ★ (53,290 reviews)
Pros
- Handshake-angle grip reduces forearm pronation, the core reason to switch from a flat mouse
- Three-stage DPI switch (800/1200/1600) covers most desktop and light design work without driver software
- 4.2/5 across 53,000+ reviews signals unusually consistent quality control for a sub-$25 peripheral
- At $20.48, it's roughly a quarter the price of premium vertical mice like the MX Vertical
Cons
- 2.4GHz USB-A dongle only — no Bluetooth or multi-device pairing despite the listing's phrasing
- Larger shell can feel oversized for smaller hands, which shows up repeatedly in buyer feedback
- Build materials are clearly budget-tier compared to Logitech or Kensington alternatives
