Verdict

The Portronics Toad III is a versatile wireless productivity mouse featuring dual connectivity through Bluetooth 5.3 and a 2.4 GHz USB receiver, allowing it to pair with two devices simultaneously across a 10-meter range. It is equipped with a 6-button layout, including silent primary clicks, a dedicated DPI cycle button for adjustable sensitivity (800 to 1600 DPI), and two side buttons for web navigation. Key advantages include a lightweight 60g ambidextrous design, a rechargeable internal battery with Type-C fast charging, and the ability to continue using the device while it charges. On the downside, some users find the connectivity toggle switch inconveniently located on the bottom, the battery level is often not displayed within the operating system during Bluetooth use, and the DPI may feel sluggish when waking the device from idle mode.
