So I tried it on 3 separate pcs. The same result, upon powering on the computer, the mouse pad powers on for a second and then shuts off. I went to settings > devices and saw "Unknown USB Device ( Device Descriptor Request Failed) Driver Error". This occurred in 3 different pcs all on the latest windows update and one without iCUE installed. Strangely enough, when I replug, iCUE detects it after.
It's most likely a defective unit. Im contemplating on RMA (assuming they may have replacements).
