游戏鼠标疑似着火，险些烧毁用户公寓

A redditor's gaming mouse spontaneously combusted, nearly causing a house fire. The user, u/lommelinn, reported waking to the smell of smoke and discovering their Gigabyte M6880X mouse engulfed in flames while their PC was in sleep mode. The incident resulted in significant damage to the mouse, their desk, and nearby equipment, including a modular synthesizer.

The M6880X, an older wired optical mouse, lacks an internal battery and operates on a standard 5V USB 2.0 connection. This unexpected failure, with only the top casing melting, has puzzled many. Images shared by the user show extensive melting of the mouse's top rear panel and damage to their desk and mousepad.

Gigabyte officially responded to the incident, stating that customer safety is paramount and they are investigating the matter thoroughly. They contacted u/lommelinn to offer support. The user, still in disbelief, confirmed their PC was in sleep mode and that the USB port showed no voltage irregularities, leaving the cause of the fire a mystery. The post, titled "My Gigabyte mouse caught fire and almost burned down my apartment," has generated significant discussion on the r/pcmasterrace subreddit.
