Does your mouse hand get cold?
I am right-handed and my mouse (computer mouse) sucks EDIT: s 🐸🐸🐸🐸 s the warmth out of my right-hand in the winter - so my right-hand keeps getting cold.
It only happens when it is cold.
Does anyone one else find this happens to their mouse hand? I'm assuming it isn't just me and that I have something wrong with my hand.

I was worried it was just me.
[edit] That's not actually true. I did think that it might have to do with arthritis and poor circulation, which I don't expect many of you have. I also have, for many years, spent nearly all of my waking hours on the computer, working or playing. I used to get a really achy wrist and have suspects for years that I might be near to getting carpal tunnel syndrome. Therefore, I still assumed I was in the minority with the cold mouse hand.
I now believe that it is almost certainly due to poor circulation, but that it affects a whole lot more people than I realized. Pretty much anybody who spends hours at a time on the computer can get this. Seems like it gets worse if the air in the room is cold.
If your workspace is set up to allow it, try changing the height at which you sit and/or the height and angle of your arm and wrist, or get a mouse pad that supports your wrist without further cutting off the circulation. Just a tiny deviation from a natural, neutral position is probably going to cause some pinching of nerves, and eventually a cold hand.
Sometimes that's not enough, especially if you have circulatory problems from another source, or carpal tunnel syndrome, or something like that. I bought a pair of thin gloves and cut the fingertips out.

Maybe they're just shy
Im in the same boat as you though perhaps for a different reason . I have been on computers and/or typewriters ( yes typewriters ) my entire life even in elementary school do to my handwriting .( I have something called essential tremor which causes my hands to shake .)
One thing you can do to help with circulation in general if you cant actually get up for some reason is sit with your legs to your side stretched out a bit instead of under the desk .
It obviously happens to me too! Maybe my chair is too low? Or my desk it too high? Or maybe I should turn the heater on?

How about a heated mouse for Christmas?

Anyway i have this all the time.. the hand keeps still and the blood doesnt flow very well to it, so just let it hang down sometimes
Wow, what a great idea! I did not know they made these. I don't have that problem, but if I sit a certain way and put pressure on my elbow, my hand will fall asleep.
