I already have a keyboard warmer.


I plan to train him to lick the board clean for me by putting catfood on the keycaps.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Okay, that being said, I've noticed that if I spend a lot of time using the mouse my right hand gets cold. I guess I could actually see a use for these...

I've always wanted mouse heating. I've got the same problem. Real annoying if I've been gaming for a while.

If it's not a sheer matter of the room temperature you might want to break from the game to stretch your hand and wrists. Having only one cold hand may be a sign that it's time to take a break for the good of your health.

You may want to try different mice too. I've had occasional hand pain and numbness in the past, but never since switching to a Razer Diamondback mouse.

That brings new meaning to "board chow"...

On the other hand, a keyboard filled with dried catfood bits would be a good feeder for your bug collection, too.

Grow yeast. That'll generate some heat.

Cold hands when typing was a bigger problem for me before, I've rearranged my furniture and nowadays don't sit as close to the window. I think I have slightly better blood circulation now too.

Of course, you will need something to wear under those warmers.

ROFL... So much for the "don't ask, don't tell" rule.

I can picture the superior asking: Are you trying to say something soldier?
