Tx** A: Hi. The wireless one, with the two AAA batteries (but the USB sender removed) weighs 113 grams. Without the batteries it weighs 90 grams. The one with the cable, including the entire cable, weighs 151 grams. I hope this helps **Q: Can the extra buttons be programmed? as an rsi sufferer, i like to have a button assigned to dbl-click.** A: You can if you download "5-button mouse" driver from Anker website. It can be found under link "Driver" in "Download list" for "2000 DPI Wireless Mouse with Side Controls" or by this direct link: https://d2211byn0pk9fi.cloudfront.net/spree/accessories/attachments/70511/914F78623355D05_setup.exe?1533027869 (2019-03-11) **Q: Is this a right handed or left handed mouse? I am after a left handed vertical mouse. If not, can you advise me where to look** A: This particular one is a right-handed mouse. I've just had a quick look, and unfortunately all the left-handed vertical mice I can find are comparatively expensive. Here's a good example: http://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-Evoluent-VerticalMouse-Left-VM4L/dp/B00427OTEU ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First vertical mouse takes getting used to but I'm starting to like it! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 4 January 2019* I was originally looking for a reasonably-priced mouse that had a thumb and pinky-finger rest on either side, in order to stop my thumb / smallest finger from dragging on the mouse mat. Despite best endeavours, I couldn't find a conventional mouse like that (some of the photos on Amazon exaggerate the size of a mouse's thumb rest and I sent one back for this reason).That's how I ended up trying a vertical mouse. I spend 8 hours+ on the computer all day (for work) but have never really had wrist discomfort. But I thought a vertical mouse might achieve what I was looking for in terms of avoiding thumb//pinky contact with the mouse mat.When I first got the Anker vertical mouse I didn't really like it, despite immediately noticing that the angle of the hand (more vertical rather than horizontal) felt more 'natural'. I've been using it for about a week now and have perhaps adjusted my hand position on it somewhat, using my thumb and first finger (=left mouse button) a bit more like a claw (i.e. higher up the mouse). I'm finding using it is starting to come more naturally and I'm beginning to like it.FWIW, I have smallish hands (~18cms from the end of the wrist to the end of the longest finger) - I suspect it would be even more usable if my hand was a little bigger or the mouse was a little smaller, but I don't think it's a deal-killer.The mouse itself is very good quality, especially for the price. It has a matt, rubbery feel to it, the buttons make pleasing and consistent clicks and the wheel / centre button feels right. Pressing the wheel (centre button) works best once you've adjusted to the angle of the mouse and are pressing it in the direction of the switch movement - again, takes a little getting used to.Mouse manufacturers like to have a led cutout to make the mouse more 'sexy' and this one has a red one, roughly outlining where the thumb would go. However, it's not too bright and in my dimply lit office could just be mistaken for red paint. So shouldn't be an issue.Overall, this is a great mouse for the price and well worth a try if you're looking for an economically priced vertical rodent.FINALLY, can I say that this mouse is ridiculously over-packaged in single-use plastics? There is a clear plastic box. Inside that is another clear plastic moulding enclosing the mouse, which rests on a cardboard box, containing the mouse cable and instruction leaflets. In this day and age, with growing awareness of the plastics issue and where, presumably, most of the product sales are online, why, oh why, can't they package this item more environmentally sensitively? (I did email the company about this and recommend that, if you share my outrage [over-statement!), you write to the company too [support@anker.com]. I got a nice reply but obviously they're only likely to change if enough people complain.)** UPDATE AFTER 3-4 MONTHS USE **OK, I have to own up to buying a Logitech MX Master for Amazon, which was recently 'on-deal' at a big reduction, to replace the Anker vertical mouse. Yes, it was still more than 3 times the price of the Anker. However, and this is obviously a purely personal experience, I found that although the vertical mouse was definitely more comfortable for my wrist I just couldn't get the accuracy, even after 3 months of ~8 hours a day computer use. This was down to me and not the fault of the mouse. However, since I got the Logitech MX Master for Amazon I've fully recovered my close mouse control. So, a vertical mouse is probably not for me, though I don't regret trying one and the 'entry cost' is pretty low. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow, what a find *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 7 October 2016* My job involves lots of mouse most days, and there comes a point every couple of years when I need to swap to a vertical mouse to alleviate RSI symptoms. For years I have relied on an Evoluent mouse, which has consistently sorted me out and kept me going. But it's now more than a little worn out, and I was going to replace it with another, when I saw this mouse at under £10 ( less than 15% the cost! ). Having once bought an Anker laptop battery which was unbelievably excellent, I thought I might as well give it a try.Must say I am again unbelievably impressed. There is no way that this feels or works like a £10 mouse, it is very well made indeed. In fact, I would put it on a par with Evoluent for build quality. It is sculpted a little differently so feels thinner in the hand than the Evoluent, but is approximately the same size and weight.I guess the real test is if it sorts out my RSI, but I've only had it a few days so its too early to say. However, it puts my hand/arm at pretty much the same angle as the Evoluent, so I have good hope that it will.It worked straight out of the box on Windows 10 without any special drivers being installed. It's has a 1000dpi resolution which is slightly higher than I would normally use, meaning that the pointer moves around a bit faster on the screen, but that can be adjusted. The only downside as far as I can see, is that they don't have a left-handed model.In summary, if you're used to an Evoluent, I think you are likely to find this just as good. If you're new to using a vertical mouse, you will find it strange and maybe hard to get used to for a while, but its worth persevering - I for one, have found them a tremendous help in alleviating RSI. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not bad, but could be better *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 10 March 2013* I used to have an Accuratus vertical mouse, but managed to break it, so decided to try a different brand. I can't afford one of the Evoluent ones, so was looking at this price range. I was glad to see the Anker mouse at a good price, and it had good reviews.It is quite comfortable, accurate, and has good resolution. It also feels better made than the slightly cheaper Accuratus models, but it is not as 'natural' feeling to me. For me the buttons are far to low on the side of the unit, and means you drag your outer fingers across the desk. This leaves the weird plastic knob at the top seeming to be rather superfluous, and a bit of a waste of plastic. For my larger hands, the page up/page down buttons are in the wrong place, and practically useless to me. Because the buttons are too low, this also means the scroll wheel is at a strange angle, so you find your finger is dragging across it, rather than a smooth operation. I'm also not sure that it has enough of an angle to assist with RSI problems, but only time will tell on that.Overall, a good device, but I feel it could have been better thought out without causing a cost increase - such as better location of the buttons, less wasted plastic moulding, and a slightly steeper angle. At this price though, it's worth a try if you want to easy wrist pain issues.Notes to add (18/03/13):After my review was posted here, I was contacted very quickly by Anker, who were very keen to resolve the negative points I raised. I have to say they are keen to please and did send me a partial refund to compensate me for the product not meeting my expectations fully. They did offer a no quibble return and full refund, and communicated very promptly - although I have opted to keep it, as it is still better than a flat mouse, even if not entirely perfect as a vertical mouse.Although those points are still valid, I have got more used to it now, and I find it is not too bad now I've been using it for a while - certainly better than a fully flat mouse anyway. It's definitely worth considering - I've upped the rating from 3 to 4 stars, simply for the very good customer service - for which I have to say thank you. ## Frequently Bought Together - Anker® Ergonomic Optical USB Wired Vertical Mouse 1000 / 1600 DPI, 5 Buttons - Logitech K120 Wired Business Keyboard for Windows or Linux, USB Plug-and-Play, Full-Size, Spill Resistant, Curved Space Bar, PC/Laptop, QWERTY UK Layout - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48852357-ergonomic-optical-usb-wired-vertical-mouse-1000-1600-dpi-5](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48852357-ergonomic-optical-usb-wired-vertical-mouse-1000-1600-dpi-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
