One way to reduce the pressure on your wrist is to not rest your hand too much on the table but use your arm muscles to slightly lift your mouse hand. Eventually this will put strain on your arm so you gotta balance it. Also, moving your mouse hand further away from you might help. The worst thing is when your hand is at too much of an upwards angle. It feels so much more relaxed when your hand is in a straight line with your whole arm, and you can lower the angle by using a higher table or moving your mouse hand further away from you, as well as by having a lighter grip on the mouse. As for your keyboard hand, it's all about not tensing it too much, and if you wrest it on the table then don't do that as much. It doesn't help if the room is cold or if the window is open too much, which is annoying because I like to have fresh air in the room. But after a few weeks of practising these techniques, you should be able to manage it better and at least be able to last a game without having to warm up your hands mid way. | ||

I think it's this, I was having some very minor issues with numbness too, that ice fingers kind of feeling. I adopted a more relaxed grip on my mouse, moved the mouse up farther so more of my arm was resting on the table (taking pressure off my wrist) and have been trying to use my thumb and pinky/ring fingers to move the mouse more than using my wrist to do it and I haven't had trouble since. Definitely roll your fingers, make a fist a few times etc. after each game too, to keep everything flexible and the blood flowing. | ||

2- Get "hot hands" packets. They are so cheap. At Wal-Mart here in Texas it's like two bucks for five of them. | ||

When i play relaxed i dont get it so hard but when i am playing my normal 300+apm game my fingers start hurting from coldness after 10-20 minutes. Anyone has the same problem or an idea how to work against it ? it prevents me from playing alot when i have to run to the bathroom after every game to use the hair drower to warm my hands up again ... update: i also get damn cold feets and sweat my socks wet oO You may want to get tested to see if you have Raynaud's or similar condition. It could just be something simpler like accidentally cutting off circulation because of bad mouse/keyboard posture, but because of the severity of the cold it could be more serious. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raynaud's_phenomenon | ||

Definitely roll your fingers, make a fist a few times etc. after each game too, to keep everything flexible and the blood flowing. It absolutely is an issue with circulation and finger/hand activity. Although it might seem somewhat counter-intuitive, your hands and arms move far less when operating a keyboard and mouse for long periods of time and it is their activity that dictates blood flow to the hand, moreso than the specific fingers. So while it might be logical to stretch your fingers and hand when they are cold, it would actually help more to stretch the entire arm and do some arm circles. | ||

At least, this solves it completely for me. Used to happen to me during Counter-Strike and WoL beta. | ||
