Hi,

 

my fingers get really cold when gaming on keyboard and mouse. Is blood getting cut off? How can I stop them for getting so cold?

Well winter is coming...so expect it even more soon...

Now, you know what you can expect from these barbarians. They are a race of rabid BASTARDS that will fight us tooth and nail! But they don't know what they're up against. Cyrodiil, is CIVILIZATION! Cyrodiil, is ORDER! Cyrodiil is POWER! And out here, WE. ARE. CYRODIIL.

You are just feeling cold from sitting. Make sure your feet are warm also a warm sweater helps.

I wear no socks, t-shirt and shorts the whole year inside of the house. I will try to wear socks for my next gaming session :D

I wear a hoodie for this reason to keep my body heat. We don't really run our heater or a/c much in the house if we can help it by other means. It doesn't work 100% like I want it to, but it helps.

I never get cold when I'm playing games...

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

I think I need a more powerful PC to make more heat.

Having you arms raised to a keyboard or mouse does it. If you hands are higher than your heart you typically get less blood flow to them. You would think activity would make up for it...

You can stop them from getting cold by putting a small space heater on your desk pointed at your fingers, or you could take a candle and a small fan and aim that at your fingers/keyboard.

i mean, sticking them under hot water or sitting on them could help xD if no and dont mind spending money you could buy a small heater (will also work as winter is coming so could be used with perfect timing) and point the heater towards your hands or something! but yeah i feel you bro i feel you, gaming with cold hands <

Lack of blood flow. You're probably pretty skinny too, right? I get this too.

get a blanket that has good insulation and entrap yourself under it so the computer and you are under the blanket. The less space you give for yourself the faster it will get warmer.

I really don't know if it is hotter, but it has a higher clock speed.

Fingerless leather gloves.

Anyone who has a sister hates the fact that his sister isn't Kasugano Sora.
Anyone who does not have a sister hates the fact that Kasugano Sora isn't his sister.
I'm not insulting anyone; I'm just being condescending. There is a difference, you see...

You need gaming gloves.  Like driving gloves, but way more pretentious.

Is the edge of your desktop digging into your forearm or wrist?
