Rank #4 in Best Ergonomic Mouse 2026: Only Three Publish the Angle
Amazon Basics Ergonomic Wireless Mouse, Curved Profile, 2.4 GHz
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Amazon Basics is the cheapest mouse in this ranking at £8.99, with 4.0 stars from 3,698 ratings, six buttons and a 6-month battery.
It takes fourth because it is the odd one out: a curved mouse rather than a vertical one, so it improves the shape without rotating the wrist. It also has the highest one-star rate here at 9 per cent, which is what £8.99 buys.
How those 3,698 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.0 stars.

Questions people ask
Is it a vertical mouse?
No. It is a curved mouse, so the hand stays in a similar position to a standard mouse; the nine other mice here are vertical or trackball.
Why is it so cheap?
£8.99, and the trade is visible in the record: 9 per cent of ratings are one-star, the highest rate here.
How long does the battery last?
About 6 months, the shortest claim in this ranking.
Will it suit small hands?
One reviewer found it bulky for smaller hands; it is a full-size mouse.
Is it good for wrist pain?
It fits the palm better than a flat mouse, but it does not rotate the wrist, which is what vertical mice do.
How many ratings does it have?
3698 at the time of collection, averaging 4 stars, with 57 per cent five-star and 9 per cent one-star.
