Heated Mouse

[texo]

My mouse hand often gets very cold and numb, sometimes painfully so, especially at night. Does anyone know of a SA stockist of a heated USB mouse?

I hate this - happens to me too. Just curious as to whether a heated mouse really works?

Hi Debbie
I've got a MS wireless optical mouse at the moment -- and for at least 12 hours a day I have the bloody thing in my hand. You'd think it would warm up, but it sucks the heat right out of my hand, especially my fingers.

And it's not like I have circulation problems or anything... I'm a skinny, healthy dude

New idea?

Try the g-love from My10 Tech, its been around forever, but still only available in an analogue version.

Dude, have you ever tried doing precision mousework (is that a word?) with gloves on?
Believe me I've tried gloves, mugs of coffee, hot water bottles...

 

[Debbie]

How about a warmish lamp in the region?

how odd... that a mouse sucks all the heat outa your hands, and the game pad makes your hands all sweaty... - perhaps its a Durban thing this time of the year...

Nothing ever gets cold in Durban!

heh... I wonder who else have grabbed and moved a cellphone around wondering why the mouse cursor won't move!.

How about an electric blanket specially designed for the mouse!

One word.

Vodka.

I'm not sure if there's anything out there that will actually be of use to you You could just try taking your hand off the mouse once every two hours or so and flexing it etc.

And LabAnimal... yes
