Portronics has launched the Toad Ergo 3, a vertical wireless mouse designed to prioritize user comfort during extended periods of desk work. The latest addition to their lineup aims to mitigate wrist strain through its ergonomic design while offering functional performance for various computing tasks.
Departing from the conventional horizontal mouse shape, the Toad Ergo 3 features a vertical orientation. This design is intended to position the hand in a more natural, handshake-like posture, which the company states can help reduce pressure on the wrist and forearm.
This could be particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing wrist fatigue or those seeking to improve their workstation ergonomics.
For streamlined workflow and device management, the Toad Ergo 3 offers tri-mode wireless connectivity. Users can connect via a 2.4GHz wireless receiver or pair the mouse with up to two different devices using Bluetooth 5.3. The ability to switch between connected devices is highlighted as a feature to facilitate multitasking across platforms such as laptops and tablets.
The mouse is equipped with a six-button configuration, including dedicated forward and back buttons for navigation. It also provides adjustable DPI settings, allowing users to select cursor sensitivity levels up to 2400 DPI to suit their preferences and the demands of different applications. A subtle RGB lighting element is incorporated, offering a modern visual accent without being overtly distracting.
It has a built-in rechargeable battery, with charging facilitated via a USB-C port. A smart sleep mode is included to assist in conserving battery life when the mouse is not actively in use. The mouse is compatible with both Windows and macOS operating systems.
