Did I burn something?

[RADEON_GUY]

So I made the mistake of buying a cheap usb 2 adapter. I think I plugged it in the wrong port because I've seen some sparks when I tried plugging my usb hub into it (Yo dawg I heard you like USBs). Anyways, at that moment I was 100% sure I messed up. I've tried my wheel, which was plugged into the usb hub, thankfully it worked. Then I tried my Corsair mouse. Nothing. Dead. When I try plugging it into one of my PC's normal usb ports, it IS recognized by the system, but it's recognized as defective. Should I try fixing it or just RMA it? Can I even RMA it?

 

EDIT: I dunno how useful the following info is, but here goes, after unplugging it the mouse smelled like burnt, irradiated bacon.

You can try to RMA the mouse. How long have you had it?

Unless they don't accept it (which I doubt, they don't really care enough) you should be able to get a replacement.

 

On the positive side, at least your likely-several-hundred dollar wheel works

I don't think corsair uses any kind of surge protection. I've had a corsair keyboard which died on me in a similar way. And yes, I use a several-hundred-dollar wheel. It's a logitech g920. I don't really care about the mouse, it's like 50 quid anyways. Logitech products are really reliable, from what I've heard.
