I'd like to have a mouse cooler, m'self...Playing games with lots of mouse-frobbing tends to get the thing all hot and sweaty...I live in Florida, so not much use for a warmer of any sort, but a cooler would go over well... |

You could mount a Peltier junction on top of the mouse for an easy hot/cold effect. Pump current through it one way, cold; the other way, hot. Maybe with USB this could be powered directly from the computer and controlled in software based on usage patterns? |

Add extra realism to those games?
Use your weapon too much, it
starts to overheat, and your mouse
gets hot; eventually, too hot to
touch. Dive into some water, and
it gets cold immediately... |

Maybe coolness is radiated by centrifugal force? |
|
| |
Technically: no. Practically: yes.
The temperature difference of an object cooler than its surroundings will propagate in the same way as an object hotter than its surroundings.
It will therefore feel that a cool object is radiating coolness even though it is achieving this effect by radiating heat. It is simply radiating less heat than its surroundings... but you knew that. I'll shut up, now. |

Actually, I guess I could have reasoned that one out but, no, I didn't know that. |

donno if this pertains but the fan mod to a mouse has been done. |
|

and it does cool your hand off quite a bit. |
