I've heard you can get a heated mouse. Are they any good? Any other solutions that don't involve drinking coffee all day?

Thin glove?

Try this on: a USB warm mouse

I spend most of my day on a computer.

I used to get horrible back/neck ache, along with wrist ache.* I cured all three problems almost immediately by fixing my desk so that the mouse could fit next to the keyboard, and by lifting my monitor up a few inches.

<*Bit of a gift, that one. But no.

Now I know you are interested in your subject area, but enough to get in a mastabatory frenzy over? It's a strange world.

I couldn't let it pass but did try to be creative than that Souvy, he's a wanker.....

Won't the hand movements look a tad suspicious?

Same for me too, always yanking my jumper over my hand.

Re: Cold mouse hand

I too have a cold mouse hand, and it is often white/blue even when not on the computer, but I have manky circulation anyway.
The other hand is resting on a hot water bottle. When it goes cold I know it is time to come off the computer!!!

Re: Cold mouse hand

try switching which hand you use the mouse now and again

you'll get the hang of it after a while and it will give the other hand a break

also , shoulder massages - from personal experience i know how
the neck and back can effect hands

also forearm massage now and again - all those millions of micro contractions all add up and once you've had your first proper massage of those muscles and hand you'll feel the difference

I could no more get the hang of that than I could writing with my left hand

In my young teens there was something I practiced with my left hand but we won't go there.

But I'm not sure that making my left hand cold instead of the right one would be an improvement.

Re: Cold mouse hand

my point is you could be overdoing things - damage may occur
even though you are not feeling a temperature difference

but if you not interested then thats your issue

I didn't take offence at people assuming I and my doc are unaware of my circulation problems so no offence was intended on my part. However I am feeling a difference. That was why I posted, asking for (non medical) opinions/solutions such as the heated mouse.

WHERE can I get one of these?

I need it for the IT geek who already has everything (or so I thought...)

Tried that already! There are some fab designs! Only problem is, you can't buy single ones here - this is a wholesale site. I could buy 15, but I don't have that many hands

I have just discovered while trying to find some for myself, that you can get a whale-shaped one and a pig-shaped one from Amazon for Â£5.95 free P&P.
