Anker A7852 (AK-98ANWVM-UBA)
Ideal for: One computer with USB-A and no mouse cable across the desk
Check your computer's port first, then whether you can reach the wheel and upper control without changing your grip. Budget for two AAA batteries; a laptop with only USB-C needs a compatible adapter or hub.
Before buying, check the exact model, price and availability on Amazon Spain; we have not verified the current offer.

Best useWorking mainly on one computer with a spare USB-A port, three sensitivity settings and replaceable batteries rather than a battery that needs charging.
Avoid ifYou need Bluetooth, device switching at the press of a button, wired operation or working forward and back buttons on Mac.
Direct alternativeThe USB-A Perixx PERIMICE-513 sends input and draws power through its 1.8 m cable. Choose it instead if you prefer leaving the mouse connected without having to replace batteries.

What the community says
Digital Camera World describes a pleasant tactile finish and thumb support, but its reviewer found excessive wheel friction and awkward access to the upper control. Those are impressions from that review. If you scroll through long documents, check the wheel and whether you can press the controls without releasing your grip. Neither a vertical shape nor a positive review guarantees comfort.
Good fit
- Right-handed users who want to try a vertical grip without adding a cable across the area where they move the mouse.
- People working on one computer who can spare a USB-A port for the receiver; moving to another computer means moving the receiver too.
- People who prefer replacing two AAA batteries and want to store the receiver inside the mouse when carrying it.
Not ideal for
- People needing a left-handed model or one shared by left- and right-handed users.
- Anyone needing Bluetooth or device switching without moving a receiver.
- Mac users who rely on forward and back buttons in their daily work.
- Anyone needing confirmed programmable-button support or documented quiet clicks.
Strengths
- Optical tracking and a 2.4 GHz wireless connection through a USB-A receiver, without a cable between the mouse and computer.
- Settings of 800, 1200 and 1600 DPI let you change sensitivity on the mouse itself. The highest setting does not inherently mean better accuracy.
- Left and right clicks, wheel click and two forward/back buttons, plus a separate DPI control. These are basic functions, not a button-programming promise.
- Receiver storage and an underside power switch. Anker says the mouse sleeps after eight idle minutes and wakes with a left or right click.
Weaknesses
- It needs two AAA batteries that are not included. There is no USB charging or wired operation; the idle sleep delay is not a battery-life figure.
- The receiver is its only connection. A laptop without USB-A still needs a way to connect it, even though the mouse is wireless.
- The side buttons lose forward and back functions on Mac. If you use those shortcuts daily, having the physical buttons does not resolve the limitation.
