Too Hot to Handle: Gaming Mouse Allegedly Burst Into Flame and Almost “Burned Down” User's Apartment

Author : Nova Update：Mar 21,2025

A redditor, u/lommelinn, experienced a shocking incident when their Gigabyte M6880X gaming mouse spontaneously caught fire while their PC was in sleep mode. The user reported smelling smoke and discovering their mouse engulfed in flames, resulting in significant damage to their room, including a modular synthesizer. Images show the mouse's top rear panel completely melted, while the underside remained relatively undamaged. The desk and mousepad also sustained damage from the fire.

The Gigabyte M6880X is an older wired optical mouse, powered via a standard USB 2.0 connection (5V at 0.5A), making the incident even more perplexing. There's no apparent battery to account for the fire. Gigabyte officially responded to the user's post, acknowledging the incident and launching an investigation into the cause. They stated their commitment to customer safety and have contacted u/lommelinn to offer support.

In a follow-up post, u/lommelinn expressed their bewilderment, emphasizing that their PC was in sleep mode and that subsequent voltage checks on the USB port showed no anomalies. The cause of the fire remains a mystery.
