Reply to Novation Twitch back from the Dead

So a while back my Twitch controller completely kicked the bucket mid gig with no given reason. I tried everything in my power to get it to work again. I even gave it to some repair shops around the area to see if they could figure it out. Nothing worked.
Today, four months later, I saw Serato DJ had support for it. So I jokingly plugged it in and BOOM it lit up full flare and initialized in Serato DJ.

Any idea as to why and how that happened?
