Cold hands when using my PC

I always get really cold hands when I'm using my PC, this obviously makes it hard to type as my hands sort of go stiff. I don't know what's causing it, is it that I'm just sat too low in relation to my desk? Do any of you get cold hands when using your PC if so any tips for keeping them a little toastier.

There are USB gloves that warm your hands.  But if you don't like that then you can just fap every once and a while and that'll warm you up.

You may want to talk to your doctor...

i get cold hands when using my pc in a cold enviroment.

 

maybe heat up the room some more.

I do have the window open so that probably doesn't help, I think it's just a combination of bad ergonomics and the cold ish room, not much I can do about bad ergonomics but I will be going to uni soon so I will have a better desk than I currently have, it has a really awkward wooden leg cutout that makes raising my chair higher impractical.

Possible Raynauds (see a Doctor to eliminate this).

 Or maybe just the way your sitting is stopping the proper circulation  or system fan(s) causing air to flow over your hands or...

Really you could wear gloves (for choice finger less ones) as a short term measure but find the cause of this coldness rather than a work around of the symptoms.

I think you should find some sort... of source... of friction

 

Just sayin...

The solution to cold hands/extremeties = exercise.

 

 

People who are relatively fit tend to have better circulation, and they are like saunas.  Go grab the hand of a random person on the street who looks fit, after they backhand you to the ground, you will slowly remember that their hands gave off lots of heat.

I am impelled not to squeak like a grateful and frightened mouse, but to roar...
