    Lol, after rejoicing, its been suddenly put to an end.

    After popping in the weights (which seemed awkwardly hard to put in at first), i couldnt get it out by pressing the eject button.

    I did many tests and noticed that the hole in the middle of the left column was "irregular".

    I tried inserting all weights into each hole but that one, and it worked fine

    I also did the contrary, inserting only 1 weight in that hole and leaving the rest open.

    And guess what, it IS that hole.

    Anyone else get this issue? Im going to go exchange my mouse today anywho. cuz i probably scratched and destroyed it already by plucking it with knifes and shaking it vigorously to get the weights out..

    Suggestions?

    Your going to return it after "scratched and destroyed it already by plucking it with knifes and shaking it vigorously to get the weights out"

    ...

    On the other hand, there should be something wrong with the hole or weights, so I guess returning it should be the best solution.

    They wont accept that as an excuse, since they could have just unscrewed it and fixed it and sold as a refurb.
