A six-button wired gaming mouse with adjustable DPI and a comfortable right-hand shell — the essentials of a gaming mouse at a snack price.
Overview
The Portronics Vader exists for the gamer who wants RGB-and-buttons aesthetics without spending Rs 3,000. For Rs 475 you get a six-button wired mouse with adjustable DPI, colour-changing lighting, and an ergonomic right-handed shell that handles long sessions.
The wired connection is a feature, not a compromise: no batteries, no latency, no pairing - the mouse works whenever the PC does. DPI stages adjust on the fly for switching between precision aiming and fast movement.
With an 832-review sample averaging 4.3 stars, this is one of the best-tested budget mice on Amazon India. It will not replace a Rs 5,000 esports sensor, but as a first gaming mouse, a hostel setup piece or a reliable backup, it delivers far more than its price suggests.

Buying Advice
For the price it covers the essentials of a gaming mouse — the extra buttons, the DPI switching, a comfortable wired connection. A fine first gaming mouse. It's not a pro esports instrument, but for daily gaming and general use it's solid value. It's a sensible first gaming mouse for someone tired of the default one and not ready to spend esports money.
Product Description
Budget gaming mice usually fail in predictable ways: buttons that double-click within months, sensors that skip during fast flicks, cables that fray at the strain relief. The Vader avoids the classic failures while keeping the price at snack level.
- Six-button layout - standard left, right, scroll plus two thumb buttons for push-to-talk and melee, and a DPI-cycler on top. The thumb buttons are the difference between a gaming mouse and a decorated office mouse.
- Adjustable DPI stages - switch sensitivity mid-game for precision sniping versus fast traversal; the LED colour shifts with each stage as a visual cue.
- Wired reliability - zero input latency, zero battery management; the connection competitive play trusts.
- Ergonomic right-hand shell - contoured for palm grip with a thumb rest, comfortable through multi-hour sessions.
The honest ceiling: this is not a lightweight esports instrument, and the sensor, while dependable, is not tournament-grade. Heavy flick-aimers will eventually graduate to pricier hardware.
The sample size matters here: 832 reviews averaging 4.3 stars means thousands of buyers have stress-tested this mouse, and the rating held. For first setups, shared PCs, gaming on a budget or the second PC that needs a mouse that looks the part, the Vader is the obvious sub-Rs 500 answer.
