It’s a hand-warming USB mouse!

My apartment, where I do much of my work here for CrunchGear, got very cold this winter. Sure, there’s heat, but it’s an old building with central heat that I have no control over. In addition, the automated thermostat dates to the Nixon administration and is just as trustworthy. Thus, my typing isn’t what it could be, as my hands are too frozen to do what I need them to.
I’m going to pick one of these USB warming mouses up. It apparently uses infrared transistors built into it to warm up your hand, up to a scorching 113°F! Youch!
Oh! And it has a clickwheel!

what amazes me is that no one (including me) thought of this before… my mouse hand is always freezing.

My hand is cold too, but I think that’s more due to poor blood circulation &/or the onset of arthritis in my mouse-using hand. Going to a trackball mouse has helped, but I think something like that Jupiter mouse a few posts above (or something similar) might be the holy grail of mouse design more-so than this heated mouse.
