A standard mouse forces your forearm to rotate inward, which over long sessions can strain the wrist and contribute to discomfort like carpal tunnel syndrome. Vertical mice keep your hand in a more natural “handshake” position, reducing that rotational strain and taking pressure off the wrist during everyday computer use. Below are six of the best vertical mice available on Amazon, from budget-friendly wireless options to premium ergonomic designs.

If you’re trying a vertical mouse for the first time, a moderate 45-57 degree angle offers an easier adjustment period than the steepest designs. Look for adjustable DPI settings so you can fine-tune tracking speed and sensitivity to your workflow, and consider a rechargeable model over one that relies on disposable batteries for lower long-term hassle. A slightly larger body tends to suit bigger hands better, so check the dimensions if you have a larger or smaller than average hand size.
