Summer Is Coming; Will Your Mousing Hand Survive?

japala writes "Many of us will have to use our computers even when it's summer. Getting sweaty and frustrated, but you have to get the work done or that last level played. Why not cool your mousing hand down with something as unique as BreezePad. DIY all the way baby!"

not a good idea

sounds like a good way to get RSI, you should allways make sure you hands/arms stay warm, better a bit too warm then too cold

When will slashdot start providing an automatic mirror for personal pages that it links to. The poor guys servers probably don't know what's hit them!!

Warming

I live in Michigan and the Winters here can get fairly cold. Does anyone know if there is any type of heated keyboard/mouse out there. I have searched relentlesly but haven't been able to find an actual heated keyboard/mouse.

mice are bad news

[Anonymous Coward]

A lot of RSI injuries are mouse-related. I don't believe an ergonomic setup should include a mouse type device.
Myself, I use a Kinesis Classic (it's $200, but worth every penny) and stick to the shell whenever possible. If your windowing environment supports keyboard shortcuts (as any good one should) then you don't even need a mouse. There are exceptions, but even then there's usually a better, less injury-prone device to use (frex, graphic artists are better off using a tablet).

Amazing

Instead of building that mousepad, maybe he should have patented that transformer with DC output. --tarballedtux
