At wintertime, im suffering from cold hands (fingers) when working using a mouse. Although the rooms is hot, my hands have always had a low temperature and they are frozen cold. Do u have the same issue or similar and what solution have u applied to resolve it. I was thinking of gloves... but... nahhh :-(

That sounds like a circulation issue. I’d start with an ergonomic mouse, if that doesn’t change anything then consult your doctor.

Check out Raynauds Syndrome or Disease, I remember my Mother-in-Law having it.
@zoran: This - as suggested by @Allyance - could well be the issue - a friend of mine had it, and always suffered from cold hands; that, or poor circulation (which is not a criticism - I suffer from cold feet, and have done so since childhood, with the exception of a few years in my twenties and thirties).

My hands and feet have always been cold in winter. It comes and goes, and mostly, it stays. In other words, there are times when they are warm. So, if I have to use my hands on my keyboard, or when I use my iPad, they tend to be cold. If I have the luxury of warming one hand at a time (while using the other to hold a book, etc.) then I can eventually get both hands warm and they will stay warm for awhile. My feet tend to be cold for most of the day, but in the evening, they warm up.

I suffer from Raynauds Syndrome and my hands can be freezing in a warm house or when the rest of me is warm. I often end up wearing fingerless gloves in the house so I can type etc. Even that doesn't always help though.

My girlfriend and her father have it.

@OP, I was thinking circulation because you’re using a peripheral that may not be ergomic for you.
