Use a USB warming mouse instead of fire |
A few weeks ago the heater broke here in part of the office and the women wisely decided to move to a warmer part of the building until it was fixed. Us men however toughed it out for two days until the problem was fixed. It sure would have gone by a lot easier though if we had this USB Infra-Red Warmer Mouse ($23) to keep us going.
The USB Infra-Red Warmer Mouse has an infrared red generator built inside which gradually warms up the mouse surface after being plugged into a USB port. It keeps the temperature at between 40°C ~ 45°C and can be turned off if, for example, your thumb’s skin starts to burn.
Beyond warming your hand this mouse does what a mouse does - 800dpi, buttons, etc. You really aren’t buying this to be just a mouse though - you want something to prove how stupid of a dude you really are.

Amazing that manufacturers will build something like this, an obvious heat source, which I guarantee will start a fire.
What are they thinking? I’ve got to guess it really wasn’t intended to be a warmer, it just happens to be defective design so they’re advertising it as a heater.
P.S. Incredibly, my power strip can prevent fires caused by this device. How? My power strip would shut down the PC at the first sign of smoldering.
Dang. You got me. I figured it out when I saw this product today.
stupid stupid idea. since when have people been using their mouses and wondering why they are always so cold!
the mouse warms up with the head of your hand in minutes.. and its usually more comfortable before its hot!
