they shud invent keyboard or mice which get heated while plugged in like a heating pad just its build inside ur hardware =)
I saw something like this just a day ago. It was a heated mouse from a Japanese (gadget) site.
A quick search brought up these several products. Here are two:

And a warming mouse pad (HAHA):

My hands are usually cold in my office and at home(even when the room is warm), and it increases the pain in my arms/hands from working on the computer all day.
Thinking about getting some heated USB gloves, or at least those hot packets.
Edit:
emythrels answer seems fitting.

I use a Razor DeathAdder. It has a pulsing light where your hand goes that kinda warms up when the light is on.....

Or, the reason why everyone was wearing coats was that it's cold as balls outside in Korea atm. If you watched Artosis's video of the GSL house, it was snowing and everything.

Just check the temperature ... its below zero (Celsius and not that stupid Farenheit) in Korea and will stay like that for some time.
However ... that is no excuse to have low temperatures in the arena because that actually affects the game. Just imagine if they were playing on a boat in rough seas ... some players would cope with that better than others I would think.
If their chosen venues are impossible to heat up they should choose different ones which can give fighting conditions worth playing in. This should include the option to move into a small studio which does not allow the option of people watching it live .... if necessary.

For reference, the booths in Brood War had air conditioning / heating with a thermostat. It seems like GOM's don't have that but they probably should get it!

I can only assume that they probably save money and energy at the studio by keeping their heating turned pretty low. It's really cold in Korea so people probably just leave their jackets on. Besides, it's not uncommon to leave a jacket on when you're walking around inside, even if you're sitting. You usually only take it off if you're at someone's house or something, in my opinion.

hehe, more than likely, but it feels warmer than my ol' microsoft 5 button :D

I don't se ehow you guys get cold while playing in the winter when it's cold outside. i live in florida.  hahah. but seriously korea is having a frigid winter, and it's super expensive to heat the studio a ton. but gamers like to be way above the sub-freezing temperature.

I'm not sure about South Korea but in most Asian countries the heating can't be compared with how it is like in America. People are generally bundled up with layers of clothing all day. The heating system in US is build into the house covering every corner. While the heating system in Asia is like an air conditioner that only warms up one room.

i bet you people are always going in and out as well, letting all the cold in!

I dunno, any more electronic equipment involved and we could have jaedong v flash 2.0.

I always get cold when I play StarCraft. It can be adrenaline or the fact that your not moving much just your hands, you get cold. Watch players in any tournament they likely have a few layers on. Adrenaline would just negate the feeling of cold. Maybe the fact that south korea is in the middle of winter, is a reason why it is so cold? =| This is wrong. Andrenaline will actually make your extremities (especially hands) cold. Starcraft simulates a fight or flight scenario in your brain (hence the adrenaline rush). Its a sympathetic nervous system response. This causes your body to pump less blood to non-essential areas (hands) and send blood to more areas like your core, brain, thighs. Things like hearing, vision, reaction time, heart rate all sharpen/increase. However, your hands get cold, due to lack of blood. -Cent
That's weird. As far as experience tells me - I used to be a competitive swimmer so I had to actually control my adrenaline - adrenaline completly negates any sense of heat or cold. And even nowadays, if I pump out some adrenaline consciously(it is possible after training, common for athlethes, some of them aren't even aware that they can do it), I just lose the feeling of temperature, instead of getting cold or something. Maybe there is less blood, maybe my hands are actually cold, but I just don't feel it.

WHat's strange is that studios with that kind of lighting rigged up are usually super warm.
Though now that I think of it there isn't that much lighting.

Notice Jinro destroyed Idra when he had a coat on, but against MarinekingPrime when he had only a shirt, he lost

Adrenaline directly affects your neurons and their ability to form connections by forcing open the same pathways that feel temperature and pain. During this period your body is unable to send signals back to the brain.
The main problem with a colder climate and sc2 is that if your playing at any high speeds your brain is constantly sending and receiving messages as you rapidly move your hands and is unable to process temperature in these areas. So your hands won't feel cold, but they'll be sluggish. This poses a problem because it greatly affects your game play because its a hard thing to spot and fix during a game. I hope gom sorts this out.

Don't they use floor heating for everything in Korea, thus any big-rooms, etc. tend to get really cold?
|
surprised players don't bring there own space heaters... don't they get in the booths 1 match early typically...
|
Temperatures for Seoul were forecast with highs of only -5 degrees C (22 F) through Friday and lows of -13 C (8 F) during that time.
Wow that is nothing. I would kill to be able to consider -13 stupidly freezing cold during winter.
I suppose heating and energy stuff works a lot differently outside of NA though, I guess they can't throw infinite amounts of money into a fire to keep themselves warm 
|
this stuff would never fly in amerikuh, people would claim they have the right to be warm, i don't mind having regulation on heating because honestly i'd rather wear a jacket and save the planet rather than live in a 70 deg F environment all the time
