Thermaltake Intros Mouse With Finger-Cooling Fan

[A Bad Day]

[citation][nom]hal32s[/nom]oh wow. games that makes your finger sweat.[/citation]

My hands have a tendency of sweating for even casual 2D Flash games or Team Fortress 2. And sometime during gaming, my fingers slip because of the pool of sweat on the keyboard and mouse.

Also, my keyboard and mouse gets gross after two or three weeks of usage if I don't regularly clean them. I'm surprised that I haven't short-circuited them yet.

What's next? A fan on my Webcam? or how about fans on my speakers! Oh got it Liquid Cooled Mousepad and for the cheaper people fan cooled mouse pads!

would have designed it way different!!! Why the hell have a fan on top, in front of your fingers, when you can have it inside the mouse..... kind like an extractor fan, sucking air from the buttons palm surface side, out to the bottom of the mouse, via small holes....

Personally I think this should be way better the a fan sticking out in the front of a mouse...

In my opinion, the two options that would actually find buyers would have been:
- a mouse with an internal cooling system, which would blow air across your sweaty palm through a series of small holes spread out across the mouse
- a mouse which would offer some sort of temperature control for moments where your hand actually gets cold.

What kind of motor is it using?

at 6000RPM it difficult for even a quality fan to handle for a very long time.

also 2.7CFM is a very small amount of airflow and it is also on the wrong side. the part that gets sweaty is the part that comes in contact with the mouse and for that you need a mesh design and a larger air intake fan for the case of the mouse it's self and the buttons and palm area acts as a exhaust vent. (it is an old design but it actually works and allows for the fan noise to be muffled)

you get more airflow across your fingers from moving the mouse quickly (like you would do during a gaming session) (2.7cfm fan = crap especially in it's location)

Now you're talking.

i wonder if the vibration of the fan would move the mouse...
i dont wanna change a Head shot for a Neck shot! HA!

Sad, I pictured a Mouse with the fan inside with some sort of vents blowing onto the under side of the fingers. That would of been a worth while product.

That's kind of pointless for me, most times my hands get incredibly cold. Make that a mini-heater and we got something.

This one doesn't top the USB personal vibrator.

 

[frank_drebin]

wow, a mouse for sweaty fat fingers....... how about going to a doctor first or lowering temp in a room?

Much better design.

" After all this is like apple products, high price and delivers nothing."

All it is missing is the constant media hype with for moron talk of (laugh) "magical
innovation".

 

[eddieroolz]

Not a fan of the mouse itself, but the fan looks very neat.

 

[tomhuang03]

Unnecessary and ugly. Unless your hands sweat like a waterfall.

Are your fingers burning up with all that twitch gaming?

no, my fingers are white knuckled trying to stay in position on these infant child sized super mini micro mice so that on finger does not press more than one button.

i'm starting to understand why goliath got his butt kicked by that puny little david, the only weapons goliath had laying around that he didn't have to treat like a delicate flower in order to use them was the trees and boulders everything else was midget sized to him.
