nop no cold arms here, however i recently noticed that my feet like to sweat slightly, cold odorless sweat which eventually dampens my socks so they become some sort of evil-warmth-drainers, and if i don't do anything about it fast they will become sooo friggin cold ;/

Keep your wrists elevated off of the mousepad and keyboard tray in a neutral position. This enhances blood flow. I learned proper wrist positioning when I took professional piano lessons.


Wrist rest is a must unless your keyboard has a built in one, only way to keep your hands elevated without tiring them out.


Really? My keyboard is just off the edge of the desk and I use my palm on the edge of desk//keyboard and my wrist stays in the air, same with the mouse.

Yes!! Any time I use my fingers strenuously, my left hand gets really warm and my right hand gets really cold. I'd love to know how to stop this.

Wrong. Do not use a wrist rest unless you have a medical condition that makes your muscles weak. If you are in good health, you should be able to keep your hands and wrists in proper position for many hours.

The following quote is from http://www.netsci.org/Science/Special/feature01.html
8)Q. Can a wrist pad sitting in front of the keyboard be used during keyboarding?

A. The neutral position described in #7 can not be achieved while in contact with most commercial wrist pads. For this reason keyboarding is best performed from a "floating" wrist position. Thus contact with wristpads is best between bouts of keying only.

Frequent rest, away from the keyboard, becomes necessary with floating wrists because it tends to emphasize shoulder muscle contraction. Don't forget to use the lightest possible finger pressure during keying.


As previous posters have noted, it is also a good idea to move them around in different positions between games as well as moving your arms and entire body.

Yeah sometimes Ill get cold hands, usually only when its cold in my room. The problem went away when I bought this new i7 box and overclocked it to the point that my room gets hot.

I got cold hands more often back when I was starting competitive Broodwar (aka iCCup). Nowadays, I don't get my hands cold at all.

Yes I get the exact things you do, OP. My hands get really cold only when I'm playing SC 2, and I shiver before games (though I attribute my body shivering/shaking as anxiety too).

Right now, I just came back from an epic win, and I realized my hands were freezing. As I type this, however, they're already warming up like heck.

Dang, they're really, really warm now. Results within minutes haha
Failure is not falling down over and over again. Failure is refusing to get back up.

you keep your hands in a still position when u play over the mouse making it colder most likely
then when you type you move it around circulating blood warming it up

Yea I get cold hands as well, it makes your hands feel slow and jerky. It was even more annoying in sc1 because you just couldn't do everything you needed to at that speed. I usually warm them under hot-warm water when it gets real cold.

I get the shivers like mad in intense games. Sometime cold hands+shivers in long, intense games. It's just anxiety. Same thing use to happen when trying to impress pretty girls...

It's the fact that you're staying in one position for a long period of time. I get that way all the time, especially when playing online games. It's probably good to take breaks to get your circulation flowing again.

This and that you're nervous. I always wear a big jacket for at least the first game

is it mainly your mouse hand? my mouse hand gets cold sometimes because my mouse is higher up on my keyboard tray-thingy than i am in my seat. something to do with gravity/lack of bloodflow i would imagine

or maybe its just lack of energy, since heat is energy, cold would be the lack of it.

According to Artosis (in a broadcast "GSL 5 May 2017"), JulyZerg is one of the only players who actually prefers to play 'hands cold' and requests more air conditioning in the booth than other players etc etc. Does anyone have more information about this? Is there a medical preference to either/or hot or cold hands? Does heat honestly bump the player's speed and accuracy, DPI and APM? Any teams, trainers, coaches have any comments? Any medical personnel have any comments?

(sorry for bumping was going to make a new post but there was already one in the forums)
