Can anyone recommend a heated mouse? I too suffer from cold, often times painful hands when I am working on my computer. It sure does make it difficult to type!
Thanks! Angela

I just tested the Warm Mouse mentioned in Sarah and Mark's earlier posts. I expected more heat, much like you get putting a hand on the keys of your laptop - the heat from the mouse is much more subtle. I was afraid it was barely working, but when I compared it to my standard wireless mouse side-by-side, I could definitely tell the difference.
Mark, what was your experience? I'd be interested to hear more feedback, thanks!

I Love, Love, Love the Warm Mouse. 
I had a little trouble installing it but in the end I just had to reboot my pc with the mouse plugged in.
To get to that point, I was in touch with their technical folks and they mentioned that the mouse requires a lot more power than a regular mouse and that I should not use a USB Hub becuase it drains the power. I don't know if you are using a Hub but I thought I would pass along the info just in case it helps.
Good luck

Frostie- The heat seems more concentrated on the sides than the top which works well for me; as the finger tips on the right hand cause the most pain and I tend not to rest the palm on the mouse. I also use a Thermorest wrist warmer; in-tandem they really do the trick for me. If I get a prolonged attack I take a break and hold the wrist warmer for a bit as it puts out more heat in general.

I came across this website about a mouse hand warmer blanket invented to solve the cold mouse hand condition.

This product can either be used for a cordless or a USB mouse.

sounds interesting. My place is kinda cold (about 60 F.) but I haven't had any trouble with my mouse. Then again, I am kind of a low-tech person; I hunted around and found an old-fashioned "ball" mouse at a discount store (it cost $2.00 I think). Works great, and I don't find it makes my hands cold at all. In fact, I find that if my hand starts to slip off the edges get cold so I try to keep my hand up on the mouse like being on an island in the ocean.
