ULPT Request: accidental damage on mouse warranty

Hi, i've been thinking of replacing my mouse, it sometimes takes quite a bit to change from wireless to wired, but its not super consistent to make a claim out of it. Its still under warranty, so i was wandering if there was a way to destroy it without making it extremely obvious it had been fucked around with. I've read about nuking it in the microwave for like 5 seconds, but i dont really think that stuffing electrical parts in a microwave is a super good idea. That being said, i would not send it to the actual manufacturer, so i doubt they would do extensive research on the nature of the damage, but still i wanna make it believable. Any help?
