Im facing a serious problem here.
I moved a room that is half underground and its chilling these days after all the rain :<...
The table design is not suit with my height so that the blood in my hand flow up harder than its normally is.

My hand get cold very often and VERY quick... this affect a lot to my mouse precision and I have to find a good, quick, cheap way to warm it up.

Now i cant change the desk as well as turn on the heater since this is residence :<.... Please help T_T

Gloves!

No but honestly i dont even know, maybe you should sit higher or lower instead of replacing the desk? And also just get one of those small convectors or smth (idk if thats the right word for it).

Weird, I find this happens to me even when the room isn't that cold sometimes. Like my hands will all of a sudden become really cold at times, even if my room is only slightly cold.

Usually I go to the washroom and pour warm water

Lol, sounds like the pop a pill mentality.

-Get HuK Cushions to make you taller (we all know the real reason) so your hand is level with the desk.
-Try to make sure you're not putting weight somewhere to cut circulation. My mouse pad kinda cushions my palm and keeps the wrist off the ground.
-Do some exercise of something to get your blood running. I'm sure just a few pushups or something will warm you up.
Once you play SC you should naturally maintain circulation if you are fast anyway.

Are there gaming mice with a small integrated heater? Serious question. They could make it so it pulls additional power from a second USB port. Any serious gamer knows cold hands suck, why doesn't Razer or someone do this?

Electric blanket, it covers my feet and when my hands get cold its easy to warm them up.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

Speaking of USB heating devices for cold hands...

USB Hedgehog
USB Gloves (very manly)

Not from those gloves in particular but reviews for these ones I found:
They get way too hot after about 30 seconds, burns the hands if you are not careful.

Buy but be careful not to start a fire!

Bottomline: If you're cold, get them.


But for $6.50 and free shipping the minor burns almost seem worth it, too bad those ones are out of stock so you will have to settle for the pink rabbit ones.

Getting a thin glove with no or half fingers for your mouse hand ins't that bad, it takes awhile to get used to though.

An armwarmer or a wristband would probably do the trick too.

There are soft balls that are made to train the hand and getting the blood flowing, alot of gamers use them between matches.

Pick one of the above, combine or just jerk off to get your hand warm.


There probably are some electricity heated gloves/wristbands/armwarmers to buy too.

Or if you are hightech, build in a heater into the desk, be sure to know what you are doing though since this could result in a fire.

You could probably make a USB-heated mouse-pad or something too, and just make sure the pad extends to the edge of the desk.

This last option is something razor or some other company could design and get som money from.

Sit on your hand. It'll get warm really fast. Side effects may be numbness.

Good old, rub your hands to gether really fast for about 5 - 10 seconds. Friction is the best way to just warm up a cold body part. Then maybe stick them underneath your armpits for warmth, and if that doesn't work, I would suggest some sort of glove or glovelike material, something that can cover your hand and keep them warm

-Put hands in mouth

jk, I clench a large cup of Tim Hortons coffee, Canadian Style. Warms up my hands nicely, and gives me a nice warm beverage.

I play stepmania, It helps me warm up, I just play like 1 to 4 songs and BAM, my hands are in perfect shape.

Also you can try taking a peice of paper and write random stuff on it really fast, that works for me atleast.

if that happens at start of a game and you cant pet a furry dog or pour warm water, I recommend shaking hands vigorously (if you have time) and spam-click stuff for a bit

Armpits, or other warm cavities in your body
Once is an accident. Twice is coincidence. Three times is an enemy action. Bus Driver can never target themselves I'm sorry
