Cold office? USB heated mouse to the rescue
We've seen no end of USB-powered heating gadgets — from mousepads to cushions to drink warmers — so why has it taken until now for someone to put forward the USB heated mouse? I mean, you're plugging that sucker into a USB port anyway. Beyond being really handy for any Inuit wandering around the frozen north in search of some free Wi-Fi, Thanko's USB Warmer Mouse II would be great for offices where the most common question is, "Is it getting colder in here?" And you don't have to swap equipment in the summer, since the heat is off with a mere flick of a switch.
Some Mac users may want to hold off, though, since the USB ports on Apple keyboards tend to be low-power (best to check, or find a powered port that you can use). Everyone else in need of a little heat can order one of these optical, 800-dpi babies from Brando for about $23.

I am so excited to get one of these! I have been looking for a heated mouse for a long time. Our home office is very cold in the winter. When I use the computer, my hands get so cold, especially the one that moves the mouse. Can't wait to try this.

I want one so bad...impossible to find online (the warmmouse.com site is rather expensive)
How do I purchase this one? You talk about it and give no inkling on how to purchase it.

Beware of IGMproducts. They knocked off the WarmMe Warm Mouse, using their packaging, using their trademark on their packaging, using the WarmMe Warm Mouse customer comments as their own....
Insist on the original, WarmMe Warm Mouse.
