Mouse Hand Warmer - Designer Mouse House

Creates the Perfect Mouse Hand Environment

Blue fish hand warmer mouse pad thing

from Crunch Gear

Dammit. I might have to order one of these adorable fish warmy hand mouth things. My hands get mighty cold in the winter thanks to a drafty home office and my slightly below-average circulation, so I could probably use one of these. You plug the fish into a USB port and feed your mouse cord through the fish’s derriere and, after about ten minutes, you’ll be wrist-deep in 107.6 degrees of hot, sweaty fish-mouth.

Yes, 107.6 degrees. That sounds kind of dangerous, no? But how dangerous could it possibly be to have your hand atop a $22 USB-powered hotplate stitched inside of a fish made out of cotton and wool?

Commets: You may be disappointed by the quality of construction and its functionality. We purchased the item pictured above. The size is for a child's hand. There's very little room for movement. Plus, the item heats too much. It actually makes your hand feel very uncomfortable using it for any length of time. We were not happy with the quality of fabric or construction. Plus, in the long run, it looks a little goofy on a desk top. It's great for a child if you trust a child is mature enough to handle an electronic item like this. For adults, we recommend the Mouse Hand Warmer in gray fleece with a techie, modern design.

USB Warming Mouse II: The Hand Warming Mouse Strikes Back

from GearLog

A while ago I described my plight working in a cold, cold office and wanting to keep my hands warm. What was the remedy? The USB Warming Mouse, which promised to keep my mouse hand at a toasty 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Thanko, the manufacturer of the USB Warming Mouse, has upped the ante and released a new generation of hand-warming mice.

The USB Warmer Mouse II comes in four different colors; black, white, yellow, or red, and has a new, ergonomic design that's much more attractive than the previous generation. The mouse is also a little warmer now than before, warming slowly over several minutes and topping off at about 113 degrees Fahrenheit. The on/off switch is still there, so the mouse can be turned off during the warm months, and still sports an 800 dpi optical sensor and padded feet for precision. By and large, the specs have largely remained the same, but the mouse has undergone an aesthetic makeover to make it much more attractive as well as warm and functional.

Comments:
The mouse above is not ergonomic, so when you use it for a long time your hand gets really sore and hurts.

Here's something more practical to keep your cold mouse hand warm and you can use it with your favorite mouse pad and mouse:

The Mouse Hand Warmer is new, and there's nothing like it on the market. It's $19.95 price includes Free USA Domestic Ground Shipping & Sales Tax! It's the perfect gift idea for computer users. A new Geek Gadget just in time for the holidays!

Keeps your mouse hand covered by a warm blanket. Constructed of a warm polyester fleece blanket material with a non-slip surface. Fits standard mouse pads. Hand wash and air dry.

Instructions: Slip a standard sized mouse pad inside the Mouse Hand Warmer. If using a wireless mouse, the net front provides a clear optical connection. When using an USB connected mouse, slip the cord through a small slit opening made in the center front net. Easy to keep clean by hand washing with a mild detergent and air drying.

The Mouse Hand Warmer is hand made in the USA. It's energy-effecient and uses NO electricity. Heat is generated from your body and insulated inside a warm, cozy fleece blanket pouch.

The Mouse Hand Warmer is an inexpensive way to keep your mouse hand warm during chilly weather or whenever you feel your mouse hand getting cold. A drafty air-conditioned office makes for an uncomfortable exposed hand if you sit and work all day at the computer. During the winter, a draft or drop in temperature makes your mouse hand cold, too. Sometimes fingers get numb due to the cold air. Keep your mouse hand warm inside a cozy blanket.

The idea for a Mouse Hand Warmer came about after spending many years working long, late hours sitting at a computer. When your mouse hand gets cold there's really nothing you can do to warm it except stop working or cover it with a warm blanket. That's why the Mouse Hand Warmer was created.

No wires or cords to get tangled on your desk top. The Mouse Hand Warmer is a contemporary, modern, techie-looking desk accessory in neutral colors of gray fleece with black and white trim. The pouch measures about 12" x 12" with a wide front opening to get your hand into and out of the Mouse Hand Warmer with ease. Fits most mouse sizes, from a standard small mouse to a large ergonomically shaped mouse.

Do Not Laugh! A Mouse Hand Gets Cold

from Mouse Hand Warmer

Do not laugh! Mice hands get cold. Thats a fact. And, the motivation behind a new invention called the Mouse Hand Warmer. Its a blanket pouch to hold your favorite mouse pad and your favorite mouse. It keeps your mouse hand covered with a warm, fleece blanket so the hand is not exposed to cold drafts or chills. See the photo above. The Mouse Hand Warmer looks neat on a desk top. Its sleek and modern in design. The gray, black and white color combination is neutral. The size is about 12" x 12" and has a non-slip surface to keep the hand warmer in place on the desk top.

Any standard sized mouse pad fits inside the Mouse Hand Warmer with plenty of space remaining for a mouse and your hand.

A large ergonomic mouse is being used as shown in the above photo. The model has a medium-sized hand. The overall size of the mouse hand warmer is about 12" x 12."

The large ergonomic shaped mouse and the standard mouse pad fit neatly inside the Mouse Hand Warmer as shown above. Notice the large front opening. The large front opening of the hand warmer makes it easy to get your hand inside or out quickly. We tested the usability, and it works perfect!

Once your favorite mouse pad and mouse is inside the Mouse Hand Warmer, you are ready to work and keep your mouse hand warm. Wear a long sleeved sweater to keep your entire arm covered from chills and drafts.

The above photo illustrates the use of the hand warmer without a mouse pad. This is another added feature of the Mouse Hand Warmer item. The white non-slip bottom shown above has a smooth, flat, surface facing the interior of the hand warmer. It is slick enough for mouse movement. So, if you prefer to keep your hand warm without the use of a mouse pad, that is your choice.

Also, notice the mouse being used in the photos is a wireless mouse. There is a net window in the front of the Mouse Hand Warmer for the optical connection. If you use an USB connected mouse, make a small slit in the front net to slip the cord. Either way, USB or wireless, the mouse hand warmer works like a charm. It is like having a cozy, warm house for your mouse!

We don't have the luxury of stopping work because our mouse hand gets cold. So, we suffer with a very cold mouse hand. Sometimes fingers get numb. The only relief is to stop working, and that's not always an option.

There's a warm mouse which is not ergonomic so it may make your mouse hand sore after using it for any lenght of time. There's also a blue fish style USB connected mouse warmer, but it's not very roomy and so your hand movement is very limited inside.

5 tips to keep warm in winter

I remember the movie The Day After Tomorrow. Where everyone was facing an ice age ahead, with temperatures so cold your blood could freeze instantly.

The main characters in the story were hiding in a library. Wise move. You wouldn't run out of things to burn in a library that is full of books. In their effort to stay warm, they kept their fireplace ablaze by burning library books, feeding the fire continually for that much needed warmth.

A homeless guy who had to survive winter in the streets crushed up paper and stuffed his clothes with them for insulation. One of the key ways to stay warm in winter is to insulate your clothing. That way, you keep the warmth in and the cold out. Crushing the paper trapped air. Air is a great insulator of heat. So that made a lot of sense.

Here are 5 tips to help you fight the cold.

#1 Generate heat.
To generate heat, most modern homes have a proper heating system. Just make sure you pay your heating bills. If you can't pay the bills, get your bills paid on your behalf. For example, if you are a U.S. resident, here's where you can get free heating at http://www.cheapestsale.com/free-heating.html. If you use an old fashion log fireplace, stock up on plenty of firewood in case you get snowed in.

#2 Layer your clothing
Wear layers of clothing to keep warm. Start off with a base layer. The thermal underwear. Ideally, your thermal underwear should fit like second skin. The goal is to keep your body heat in. Pure cotton thermal underwear would probably work if the temperature is above 5 degrees celsius. Colder than that and you need something much warmer. Like merino wool. Or a base layer that is suitable for snow sports, like the Duofold Insulayer thermal underwear which has 2 layers of fabric that trap air between the layers, for added insulation.

On top of the thermal underwear, you might want to wear a wool sweater and thick denim jeans or wool pants. You might want to add on a warm jacket or even a trenchcoat over the sweater. Depending on the severity of cold you might face, you might want to add more layers. Don't forget your gloves , scarve,woolen hat, ear muffs and boots. If it is really very cold, you might even need a ski mask.

#3 Drink warming liquids
Drinking a cup of ginger tea helps you body fight the cold too. Drinking plenty of hot soup at meals warms up the body beautifully.

#4 Bring a warm shawl
Carry along a cashmere throw, or at least a wool wrap with you so you can wrap that around you when you need additional warmth.

#5 Keep one another warm
Finally, huddle up close to a loved warm so you can keep each other warm. That's how our ancestors survived the cold winters when they lived in caves. They would huddle close together near the fire to keep warm.
