People who work on a computer, any tricks to keep your hands warm in winter?

Hold your hands underneath your computer during deploys

A friend of mine recommended a heated mouse. I haven't tried that myself though; I don't use my mouse that much, and when I do, it's a vertical mouse to limit the RSI. So my personal strategy is just to suffer 😢

Work indoors, at at temperature of 21-23 degrees. At least that is what the "Arbeitsplatzverordnung" suggests. Works for me.

@Thib I second the suggestion for fingerless gloves

@Diego Roversi also built himself a heated mouse, but that one was mostly for gaming rather than work (since work tends to imply more keyboard use than mouse)

electric warming desk mat, recommended by the Slow Heat movement in Belgium. I can find references for you if you're interested. Works well for me. "Mitaines" don't work for me (or the ones I tried are too small).

@arthurlutzim I'm actually pretty interested. Doesn't it harm devices that rest on it?
in reply to Thib

I set it to the lowest temperature, only half of my keyboard is resting on it. I don't think this level of heat would harm the devices. I'll tell you at the end of the winter if anything has melted 😉

One downside is the mat that I chose is not very soft to the touch, feels a bit too plastic to me. Getting used to it, might buy another model next winter to try having a smoother pad.

I've got some fingerless gloves, very thin / tight ones for ppl with arthritis. Not amazing, but definitely better than nothing.

unexpected advice: wear a hat or scarf. the body tends to cool down extremities (so hand and foot fingers) so as to keep more important body parts warmer.
