A vertical grip on a budget — hand upright instead of twisted flat

TECKNET Ergonomic Vertical Wireless Mouse

A vertical mouse at a budget price. The upright shell holds your hand roughly as it sits when you shake someone's, rather than rotated palm-down over the desk — that rotation is the whole difference between a vertical mouse and a normal one. Adjustable DPI, Bluetooth, and a rechargeable battery.

Pros

  • ✓ The upright shell holds the hand roughly as it sits when you shake someone's, rather than rotated palm-down over the desk
  • ✓ Three connection modes — Bluetooth 5.0, Bluetooth 3.0 and a 2.4GHz dongle — with a toggle to switch between three machines
  • ✓ Six DPI steps from 800 to 4800, so it suits a 1080p laptop and a large high-resolution monitor equally
  • ✓ USB-C rechargeable, and a charge lasts one to two months of heavy use rather than needing batteries
  • ✓ 4.4★ across 3,389 ratings

Cons

  • – Sized for medium to large right hands. Small hands will reach for the buttons, and there is no left-handed version at all
  • – A vertical mouse retrains a movement you have made for years — the first week is slower and less accurate, and people who give up do so in that week
  • – The shape that puts your wrist in a neutral position also makes it tall, so it does not travel well and it will not fit a laptop sleeve pocket
  • – Three-device switching is a toggle on the mouse, not automatic — you press it, wait for the reconnect, and then carry on

Acer 2.4GHz Wireless Mouse

A full-size hand on a ten-dollar mouse, from a brand with a name to lose

The larger of the two budget wireless mice here: Acer builds this one for medium to large hands, where the TECKNET beside it is a compact travel shape. Six buttons, three DPI steps to 1600, a USB-A receiver that stows in the battery bay, and an indicator light that tells you both the DPI level and when the cells are nearly out. It sleeps after ten idle minutes and wakes on a click, which is how it stretches the battery.

Logitech MX Master 4 Wireless Mouse

The premium productivity mouse in this subcategory, for a real desk not a spare

The only mouse here built as a flagship rather than a budget pick: an 8-button ergonomic shape, a MagSpeed wheel that free-spins at 1,000 lines a second, and haptic feedback on the thumb panel that pops up a configurable Actions Ring. PC Gamer measured 70 days of battery life and called it realistic in daily use. It runs over 2.4GHz with the included Logi Bolt receiver or Bluetooth 5.1, and switches are quiet enough that 90% less click noise is a real difference at a desk, not a marketing line.
