Anker Ergonomic Optical USB Wired Vertical Mouse, 1000/1600 DPI

Anker’s ergonomic optical USB wired vertical mouse combines a handshake-style shape with two listed sensitivity settings and extra browsing buttons. Its corded connection suits a fixed desk setup, while customer feedback is positive about comfort but mixed on button pressure.

At a glance

Vertical, handshake-style form is designed to position the hand more naturally than a conventional grip, according to the listing.
Optical tracking offers listed 1000/1600 DPI sensitivity settings.
Next and previous buttons are intended for web browsing. The listing says these buttons are not recognised on Mac OS X.
USB cable avoids battery changes and wireless pairing for a desk-based setup.

What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing is inconsistent about button count, describing five buttons in the title and product text but listing six in the specifications. It also gives different dimensions, weights and cable-length descriptions, and states that one AA battery is required while also saying batteries are not required and describing corded USB power. Confirm the selected listing’s configuration. The previous/next buttons are stated not to work on Mac OS X.

Customer feedback highlights comfort, a natural-feeling hand position and reported reduction in wrist pain, alongside positive comments about quality and general functionality. For buyers considering the listed vertical design for long desk sessions, these are relevant reported experiences rather than guaranteed results. Button feel is mixed, with some customers praising consistent clicks and others finding them too hard to press. The listing’s wired USB connection also means feedback should be considered in the context of a tethered desk mouse.

Positive themes

Customers describe the mouse as comfortable and appreciate its ergonomic shape.
Some customers report that it helps reduce wrist discomfort during use.
Customers mention good general operation and ease of getting used to the design.
