No More Sweaty Mouse Hands

linugen writes "How do you avoid those sweaty mouse hands after playing a game of Quake for a couple of hours? Sure, you could use the keyboard, but this site has a 'cool' alternative. It's in Finnish (I think), so the fish won't be able to help you. The pictures speak for themselves."

    Make me a wireless one, and I'll pay you $50 for it.

      Yeah, and you'll be paying that every month for batteries.

  2. Power Issues... by cliffy2000 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I can't imagine that it's a good idea to draw extra power off the bus. Without the proper regulations/driver information, this "cool" hack could quickly lead to a very "hot" fire.

    How can you cool down the mouse with those vent holes when your hand is going to be blocking most of them most of the time?

    who plays quake without a wheel mouse

  5. What about clammy mouse hands? by illsorted · · Score: 2, Insightful

    My problem is that after a long gaming session, my mouse hand is cold and clammy (poor circulation, I suppose :).

    How about making a heated mouse garage?

    Comon... nice hack, but, get up and walk outside for a while. :-)... Thats all...


    The hack is the point, not cooling. The cooling is just the excuse. I bet if you checked out the rest of his system, his case is modded, his kb is, & he's water-cooling his overclocked processor.

    While I dig case mods, I'm kinda surprised to see it here. There's no politics involved. I guess the "gaming abuse" aspect covers it. Go figure...
