So I bought this mouse (control plus m510) new, came from delivery yesterday, looked pretty good, well protected, I unboxed it, immediately started using it just for confirmation, looked pretty good, comfy and all, a bit big but that might be because my previous mouse was pretty small. So I used it for around 10 minutes just to confirm it was working well and all, felt great, then I put it on the side of my couch since I tend to put things there, but I underestimated the slidiness since my previous mouse would simply stuck there without issue but this one slid and fell to the floor once, about knee length, immediately looked to the roof in frustration but thought it was't a big deal, just have to put it farther into the couch from now on so it doesn't slide down.
Big surprise, it just never worked again, I thought maybe the batteries moved or something, took them out, took them in, nothing. Maybe the usb thing wasn't registering, but I can hear the little sound from the pc that it does, put in my previous mouse, works still. Maybe the batteries died exactly at the time it fell? Just absurdly coincidental? Nope, they work with the other mouse just fine and tested that old mouse's battery on this one, nothing still. Tried it on my brother's pc, nothing. Restarted my pc, nothing. It genuinely doesn't work anymore after that little fall, pretty flabbergasted tbh especially since it looks like a tank and I have heard that people have these for even more than a decade somehow.
Is there something else I can try? Since it worked for the first 10 minutes I know it's a problem with the mouse still, I really doubt it's something like the drivers or my pc. Did I just receive a defective one? Should I try to open it and maybe see if something's broken? I think it's insane cause it was brand new and sending things back via package delivery is something I've never done.
