Rank #1 in Best Ergonomic Mouse 2026: Only Three Publish the Angle
Anker 2.4G Wireless Vertical Ergonomic Mouse, 800/1200/1600 DPI
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Anker vertical mouse is the most-reviewed product in this ranking: 52,677 ratings at 4.3 stars for £16.98, with five buttons and three DPI settings of 800, 1200 and 1600.
It takes first place on evidence and on price, with two caveats: it does not publish the vertical angle, and its battery life field says eight minutes, which is a data error rather than a specification.

How many DPI settings?
Three: 800, 1200 and 1600, against six on some rivals.
Is it rechargeable?
No, it takes batteries and connects by 2.4GHz USB receiver.

Because 52,677 ratings at 4.3 stars is more evidence than any other mouse here, and £16.98 is not a premium.
