Hamaramall: Portronics Toad 101 Wired Optical Mouse at ₹125 (74% Off ₹499 MRP)

Quick facts

Product overview

The Toad 101 is Portronics' entry-level wired mouse: a plug-and-play USB optical mouse with 1200 DPI tracking, a 1.25 m cable and a manufacturer-claimed 30 lakh click life on the main buttons. The Hamaramall listing shows it in black, one unit per pack, made in India. Note that the specification block on the page lists "Connectivity: Bluetooth", which contradicts the product's own title and description; on a wired Toad 101 that is almost certainly a data-entry error in the storefront's spec table rather than a real feature.

There is no touted gaming sensor, no adjustable DPI switch and no programmable buttons. It is a basic three-button (left, right, scroll-click) office mouse, and it should be judged as one.

The wider message this deal came from also advertised a Digimate 15W dual-port USB charger at ₹140, an iPhone 12 Mini case at ₹299 and an EVM USB keyboard at ₹299 on the same storefront. This post covers the mouse, which is the cheapest and the clearest of the four.

Why consider it

At ₹125 delivered-to-cart pricing, the mouse costs about as much as a decent sandwich. For a spare mouse in a drawer, a second machine, a home-office desktop that only sees light use, or replacing a dying mouse today, that price is hard to argue with. The 74% figure is against a ₹499 MRP, which is optimistic for this class of accessory — realistic street pricing for a basic branded wired mouse sits closer to ₹200–₹350 — but ₹125 is still a genuinely low number rather than a fake markdown, and Portronics is a recognised Indian accessory brand with service presence.

Wired also has a quiet advantage at this price: no batteries, no dongle to lose, no pairing to troubleshoot. For a mouse you plug into a work laptop or a shared desktop, that is a feature.

Pros and cons

Who should buy it

Buy it if you want a cheap, functional backup or secondary wired mouse and you are comfortable that the order cannot be cancelled or returned. At ₹125 the downside if it disappoints is small, which is really the argument for pressing buy.

Skip it if you need precision for design or gaming, want wireless freedom, or want the safety net of a return window — for those, spend more elsewhere on a retailer with a normal returns policy.

Final verdict

The core claim checks out: the merchant's own product page shows ₹125 against ₹499. That makes this a legitimately cheap accessory rather than a phantom deal. Two things temper it — the no-returns condition stated on the page, and the coupon codes advertised with this deal that the page itself does not display, so do not count on stacking further discount. Verify the price and the returns line on the destination before paying, and treat any code as a bonus rather than the reason to buy. Good value for a throwaway-priced spare; not a purchase for anyone who needs recourse if it arrives faulty.
