    Did You Know There's Such A Thing As A Heated Mouse House?

    I showed two of them, so does that make them Heated Mice Houses? No, I believe heated mouse houses is correct. The “Claw” Palotix USB Heated Mouse Pad/Hand Warmer is said to keep your hands warm and cozy, as it heats up to 113 degrees. There's an integrated wrist pad for comfort and support. The heating element uses computer USB Power, or a 5V phone charger or even a portable power bank. I tried the heated mouse house with a wireless and a wired mouse and they both worked as expected even though they were in the heated enclosure. The mini-heating pad is on the top so it won't interfere with the mouse pad on the bottom of the device. Check the latest price on Amazon. As on 11/13/20 you could get it for under $10 by using a 'click for $8 off' button. That could go away at any time. Hey, it's Amazon!

    The VVS-eLife grey heated mouse garage looks like a sad face or something like that. I bought it because it offered two features 'the claw' above didn't: Temperature control and a adjustable turn-off timer. When turned on, the default temperature is the set to its highest. (There is no indication as to what the actual temperature is, but I measured the heating pads in both of these devices, and the one in this mouse house is almost twice the size of the 'claw' mouse house. If you feel that high heat is too hot, set the switch to medium (green) or low (blue). You can also set the auto time off. The default is 2 hours. You can also set it for 4 or 8 hours. (Don't know why they skipped 6 hours.) When I received the unit I was surprised to see the timer and temperature setting device is actually an add on. You don't need to use it at all if you want to plug the device directly into USB. It will be on high when you do that. If you want to adjust the temperature, or the shut-off time, then insert the timer/heat switch between the mouse pad and the USB connecting cable. It was about $20 on 11/13/20.
