Anker USB Wired Vertical Mouse - Ergonomic Design, 5 Buttons, 1000/1600 DPI, Optical Technology

I was starting to get carpel tunnel when I found this mouse. It takes a minute to figure out as its not the same as the mouse you've been using since you got on computers, but one you figure it out it feels great. Very easy to use, and puts your hand/wrist/arm at a more natural position. Also, I'm still using this most in the middle of 2025 and it still works with no issues. I would recommend this to anyone

This is the first vertical mouse I have ever purchased. I was absolutely uninterested in vertical mice, however I suffered some pain in my wrist (playing video games with my nephew lol) My wrist was clicking and had some unusual discomfort. It was suggested that I try a vertical mouse for computing so I bought this mouse because the price was affordable for a item that I truly did not want and planned to use for a few weeks only. (some of the other brands that i compared to this are 89-120 dollars!)In a nutshell... i may never go back to a traditional mouse? In just a week or two i became used to the awkwardness and i new did bring out my other mouse. I still am using this Anker vertical '98anwvm-ba' mouse even as i type this review. I have used it for about everything imaginable from browsing to word processing and even for gaming! I was so amazed that it was so comfortable for playing games. Now after owning it feel silly for even thinking it may not work as well for games, after all it is a mouse in every respect and functions as well as any good mouse I have ever owned. I have been using it now for about 6 months and it still seems like new. I spend more than 4 hours on the computer a day so I am sure that it is very durable.I really like this mouse and I am pleased that such a well constructed mouse is this affordable. The appearance is very nice and all the parts look and feel to be high quality parts. The buttons and scroll wheel and lighted accent of dim un-obnoxious light are all VERY well constructed and the mouse appears to cost 3-4 times its actual value.Here some redundant info that some people like to hear from a actual owner to be sure there is no misrepresentation:- The mouse is corded.- It has 5 buttons (not including the mouse wheel which is 3 function - rolls forward / backward / and presses down)left mouseright mouseforward browseback browseand one additional button that I never new about until just now when I looked at the mouse to write this section of the reviewbwahahaha ( i wonder if its a dpi select?) I am not sure what it does ill update this review when i found out. ohh as I play with it now i think itIS a dpi select but I am hesitant to say for sure because i just learned about it.- It emits a red light if you turn it upside down (used for tracking) it is not visible at all when using the mouse in its normal position.- The scroll wheel does feel like it has a textured roller mechanism when you roll it but it is almost completely silent when i use it in fact i thinkit could be easily be written in the product description that it has a silent scroll wheel.- There is a very attractive and very dim blue light accent that is only on the thumb side of the mouse which is very nice because it allows me tosee the mouse when i sit down at the computer but it does not send light in any direction across the room since it faces only the user. even in atotally dark room the accent does not cast enough light to even see the keys on my keyboard unless i quite literally touch the mouse to the keyI am trying to see.. this is important to me as I use the computer late at night I dont like extra accent lights to be disturbing to others in theroom.- Model number "98ANWVM-BA"Seriously this mouse is in the 15 dollar range and it is VERY VERY good quality, i suspect they find it hard to sell vertical mice so they lowered the price to attract customers? well it really worked on me and this is one of those great deals you should not pass if you are at all interested. i honestly don't think you will be disappointed.

It is a good mouse overall and definitely takes some time to get used to. I have always used the standard mouse type. I have noticed my wrist does feel better. It is a laser mouse so if you lift it and place it down a few inches in another spot, the mouse might follow on the screen. I would not recommend this for gaming.This mouse could be improved ergonomically by adding an inch or two of width. I don't get the hand cramps others have mentioned but, I can see why they do. The scroll wheel is VERY sensitive so I have had to readjust my fingers so I don't keep moving it accidentally.

I have recurring tendinitis because my life revolves around a computer and have had to make significant changes to my lifestyle, including more ergonomic work stations. A lot of these “ergonomic” products aren’t backed by any real science, and the very low bar by which you can use the title makes me wary of easy solutions to real-life pain. However, switching over to a vertical mouse has been enormously helpful in taking pressure off of my wrist.This mouse I took a chance on. It’s affordable so I figured it would do the bare minimum and then break down. After several months of frequent use, it holds up and works well.I thought switching to vertical would be awkward and clumsy, but it truly was a seamless transition. I’m buying a second one for my home PC. This is a good mouse, ESPECIALLY for the price.Note: I’m not a doctor nor physical therapist. Not all ergonomic solutions work for everyone, and for the ones that do, you can’t go buck wild and never suffer an overuse injury. If you want a pain-proof solution, you won’t find it from one product; you’ll need to completely revamp your computer environment. But this vertical mouse is absolutely helping me achieve that.
