Similar to the Thanko USB Warmer Mouse, this Brando mouse keeps your hand warm with USB power. The mouse gets up to about 45 degrees C, which is about 113 F, which means it actually gets pretty hot.
This mouse is $22, compared to the Thanko's $25, so I'm totally getting one right now. My hands are always so freezing, it's a wonder I can typasdfjlzxvcio.

I tried typasdfjlzxvcio once. It gave me heartburn.
My Macbook came with a similar warming feature...
I suggest these guys do some real-world research. I suspect most people have a problem with overheating and sweating while using a mouse, so a heater is not only potentially worthles, it will actually make the situation worse.
Of course making a chiller mouse of an air-cooled mouse is a lot harder than putting a 1 cent heater coil (which just need to short a circuit with a resistor).
It's bad enough one company makes this product, but to see a new version on the same flawed theme come out each week is a little sad.
But not as sad as the ol'Giz considering it "news" and including a post for it.

It's always interesting to watch people repost when they don't see it go up immediately. I like how the wording changes ever-so-slightly.
i want a mouse that can keep my hands cool and plugs into a 220 jack and i have to keep a water catch underneath it all the time so i dont get the dripage on the floor.
Now thats a mouse i would buy!
Hey, hybrid8, instead of just bitching about how this doesn't help you and then reposting your comment, take a couple seconds and think that maybe not every product out there is designed to target you.
Personally, I'm thrilled at the idea of a heated mouse. My hands are always freezing, so in the middle of winter, this would be amazingly wonderful to have. That's about the only good thing I could say about my old laptop that used to overheat: the exhaust was on the right side, so it would blow hot air right over my mousing hand. MUCH better than freezing fingers.
