I'm at the end of my knolidg /vrg/, I really want to avoid RMAing it because I'm a lazy fuck and fear that Valve will tell me to fuck off or comes up with bullshit like user caused damage. I literally handled it with kid gloves because it's the most expensive gaming gear I own. Did anyone else encounter this problem? Are certain components known to break easily or anything in that regard with the Index?

bls halp I just wanna shoot Combines from rightful human clay ;_;
