Are you stuck in front of the keyboard and your fingers are frozen to the bone? Consider buying yourself a pair of USB Heated Gloves from Perpetualkid.com.
Who needs gift wrapping? Here’s how the USB Heated Gloves are packaged.
The USB Heated Gloves are made of wool. They have cut-off fingers so that you can still type, or you can pull the mitten attachment over your fingers for increased warmth. Each glove comes with two separate cords – one that is attached to the glove and the other that is connected to the USB port.
Here you can see where the USB cord connects to the cord that’s attached to the glove. Each glove requires this connection (so two USB ports are required for both gloves to function).
Once the gloves are completely connected, they are ready to heat things up.
A button and hook on the back of each glove prevents the mitten flap from interfering with vigorous typing.
Each glove has a 2-level heating control on the USB cord. Whether your hands are chilly or freezing, these gloves have you covered.
Pro: The gloves certainly passed the warmth test.
Con: The cords keep getting in the way when you type. However, people with more finger dexterity may not even notice the obstacles.
Personally, I think I’ll hold out unit they come up with a wireless pair of heated gloves!

My name is Sonja Thompson. I've worked for TechRepublic since October of 1999, starting with the enewsletter team, then with the Premium Products group (creating books and CDs), as well as programming some of the elements on the site. After leading the Tech News team on TR, I jumped at the opportunity to switch gears and try my hand at video editing, podcasts, and other forms of multimedia on the site. I'm currently the host of the Smartphones blog, plus I edit the TR Dojo video series. \ \ I graduated from the University of Louisville. Since then, I've also completed several technology related courses from SmartPlanet. My goal is to learn about the TR community, interact with members on the site, and hopefully encourage more people to participate - and more often.
