Yep, removing the drive from the internal housing now. Needed it for about 10mins only. Thanks for letting me know!
Edit: @SunnyBoi was right, there indeed was water inside the casing, on the disk and the convertor too. I think I'm extremely lucky that it's still functional. Goes without saying, don't try this at home without expert supervision (ie me :p)

It was suffering from bootloop for some time. Recently, I realized that bootloop can even occur due to stuck power button so pushed it in and it worked fine. Earlier, It was on LOS 14.1 which got removed by stock OS itself. I have no idea how!! Anyways stock OS was not exactly laggy but response time was slow.

Back panel and frame strip is in shoddy state. Battery backup is bad too. I'll try arranging them ig.

Flashed Lineage OS 17.1 -

Not really, I don't think there's really any bug free custom rom. Pixel roms have problems since first boot, the notification bar is weird because they aren't optimized for the huge notch of the poco f1.

My k20 pro also using pixel experience was really good and smooth at first, but after months of daily usage, I think ram management is pretty bad, it sometimes becomes really slow to a point it's almost un-usable at times. For most users, i will suggest the Xiaomi.eu as the farthest u go for a custom rom.
 
Logitech G304 (Amazon Renewed) for ₹1136 + Aluminium foil (from local Chinese food place) for free.
And we have a lightweight gaming mouse with an excellent sensor, good weight balance and familiar shape & feel. (Previous G102 Prodigy owner).

PS: Alkaline battery is a placeholder till the rechargeable ones arrive.

Let us know if the diffrence is noticable with li ion batteries. I did the same mod on same mouse and it still feels little back heavy.

Haven't tried with lithium battery, probably never will. But with Ni-MH batteries (AAA with aluminium foil) it does not feel back heavy at all, at least to me. IT IS noticeable as compared to Alkaline AA or Ni-MH AA.

I also have been using G304 with AAA + foil and the difference between AA vs AAA + foil is very very noticeable. Approx 14gms are shed and the centre of mass shift a little towards the centre of the mouse.

The environment friendlyness of rechargeable batteries pushes it over for me.
AAA Alkaline vs AAA Ni-MH isn't as much noticeable (at least for me) so sticking with them for now.
