Perfect

Now I know what my next project will be

[slater3333uk]

haha!!!

wot the hell is that spose to achive i mean your not gonna b o/cin yur mouse ru lol!

when you are a serious gamer, your mouse gets hot, and your hand sweats. Since your hand is sweating, you dont have as good of a grip on the mouse, and if you were to be playing some CS, and your hand sliped off the mouse right when you were going to AWP someone, you would be pretty ****ed and you would be blaming it on the mouse. However, if the mouse was water cooled, then the mouse would always be a nice temp, and when your hands heated up the mouse, the water would be there to take it away, and all is well, and you would have excellent grip and your game skillz would be that much better!

Ok sorry, i was getting a little wrapped up in the BS myself, but hey, ya never know...

[I.M.O.G.]

i'm glad i have this forum to spend all my spare time in (and when im supposed to be working... and when im supposed to be studying). If i didn't, i might find myself doing things like that.

ROFL!!!

I love this forum! First, a "blood cooling" a computer thread and then now this!

I think the next logical step here in mouse cooling would be using a TEC. Run your mouse at sub-zero temps! You gotta insulate it well though otherwise the circuitry would be all wet and ice would be forming on the mouse. Nice cold mouse to put your hand on, on those hot summer days.

Curious if anyone tried phase cooling a mouse?

wot the hell is that spose to achive i mean your not gonna b o/cin yur mouse ru lol!

What do you mean you are not going to be overclocking your mouse??!! Just go to the control panel in windows and click on the mouse icon and then "overclock it" by setting the pointer speed to as high as it will go. Take a note of the "FSB" of the mouse speed and then start running some programs for stability testing. For instance, fire up a game of UT2003 and check to see if your aim is stable. If you can't frag well, then your overclock is not stable and you need to reduce the "FSB" of the mouse to the point where you can aim stable. Now, the cooling comes in handy here just as TheCor4D explained because the coolness of the mouse will reduce the sweat factor, helping you achieve a more stable grip on it. When you have a more stable grip on the mouse like this, you can overclock your mouse to a higher FSB while still having stability. This should improve your response time in games as you can turn faster when the scrolling speed is set to a higher "Mhz" (mousehertz) and shoot before your opponent.

EDIT: Don't forget that some mice will overclock better than other mice. Altough the yields on mice have been pretty much equal in the recent years, optical mice will overclock much better than regular mice because of its increased precision.

Hey, why don't we make a poll on how much we can overclock our mice? I can personally run benchmarks at mouse pointer speed set to 3/4 of the way, but when I run games at that speed, I run into stability problems. I wonder if motherboard manufacturers implemented a "vmouse" option in BIOS, whether we could overclock our mice better or not?

Mouse cooling is plain dumb. but blood cooling is already going on! (most living creatures and Cray supercomputers)

anyway will it make any differnt if the mouse gets hot or not?? people sweat due to tension instead of the actualy heat.. probably.

and you can't wc a plastic mouse!!!!! there not using mouse shaped water blocks or anything else nearing sane... whos up for a milled aluminum keyboard? wc system built in? - now that would be effective... maybe a nice peltier for some cold keyboards n mice..

[Enyo]

brings a whole new meaning to SiSoftware Sandra's burn in test.


*edit* Sutible alternitive to blood cooling / water cooling?


they seem to have learnt there lesson...


Halfway into the windows loading, I started to smell a funky odor. Once I concluded that I had in fact taken a shower this fall, the smoke detector went off. The rest I shall say, is history. All I can leave you with is a important safety tip:

COMPUTERS ARE FLAMMABLE!

Talk about a waste of time and money. I just go with the easier solution, WIPE YOUR D*M HAND ON YOUR PANTS.

Anyway, plastic is an insulator. Wouldn't help to watercool a h*ll of a lot.

[TheCor4D]

If you wipe your hands on your pants you are loosing precious time... When you take your hand off your mouse, there is a high possibility of getting fraged... Now come on, who wants to get fraged? And when you wipe your hand on your pants, sure you get the sweat off, but they are still HOT... If you put your hot hand back on your hot mouse, what do you get?? HOT... and then you sweat even faster...If plastic isn't a good material, go make an alumi mouse, and water cool that, and watch your frags go up. You know that you want to

a more practicle way of preventing sweat that people have done to their mice is installing a little fan to blow air onto ur hand while u use the mouse

[Enyo]

what .... grim... thats sane.. whats the point??

[TheCor4D]

make sure that you have a fan guard on that sucker or you would have a raw hand... And i dont think that a fan would work to well. You would always be covering it up with your palm. You would have to run that little bugga of a fan at like 10K rpm to get about 5cfm out of it, so that might be kinda loud

Look what you did penguin...

Yeah, just like at a bowling alley.

[EluSiOn]

I cant view the PAGE.... it says server not found..!!! road runner has been sucked recently... I wanna see the watercooled mouse!!!

[HighFlowRod]

How about an LN2 reservoir in the mouse body? lol

[Black_Paladin]

How about an LN2 reservoir in the mouse body? lol

OUCH!! If you did that, after a minute of holding the mouse, the inside of your hand would totally freeze and become like glass. Then if you tried to slap your hand somewhere, your palm would literally disintegrate...

There was a commercial on TV some years ago where these guys were freezing a rose and then dropping it on to the ground and the rose shattered just like glass into a million tiny pieces.

Hand + LN2 = BAAAAD.

what .... grim... thats sane.. whats the point??

Never mind him, some people here are just logical and sane and not crazy and pointless like us. I know, I feel sorry for them too!

[Enyo]

there are benifits of having of having a frozen hand! like not having to worry about.. err getting cold?

[skinart]

Here ya go Elusion just incase you still carnt see the wet mouse

[Ffats]

They make the air-cooled console controllers, and I heard they weren't bad at all. Wonder why no one jumped on the bandwagon for a couple bucks by making a cooled mouse.....

Too much power needed? *shrug*
