Granted, even if the shell is busted to bits, it may still work if you can glue or tape the pieces back together. I have dropped Wendell's wireless mouse on the hard floor a couple times and it still works. It didn't fall a great distance though.
It's dead. It's shell isn't really broken, and the optical LED still comes on, but it will not move, nor will it even pair with the receiver. I think I busted the radio IC.

Something I just wrote.
Sittin' 'lone at the terminal
Waiting for the day to come
There's no way he's gonna make it
The future looks kinda glum...
When you've lost the love of your life
In a battle so unfair
Nothing seems satisfactory
The happiness' just not there
So he waits within the darkness
Haunted by mem'ries of past
Can't let go of the day
His love left him
For another, that his last
He is a loner, he's the geekboy
Having love and lost and lost his mind
And he'll forever be a drifer
Happiness so hard to find...
He knows the day is coming
But there's nothing he could do
The prophecies revealed to him
Has proved itself to be untrue
Having sorrow within his heart
Coping with it day to day
Seen his love turned to a monster
That's another one that stays
He is a loner, he's the geekboy
Having love and lost and lost his mind
And he'll forever be a drifer
Happiness so hard to find...
He is a loner, he's the geekboy
Victory seems so far away
And all he could feel is anguish
Wants his love back and stay
