Mittens not a good idea when trying to type ...
fingerless gloves
do they work? Online reviews are, as usual, mixed and not really helpful. On the other hand, they are cheap enough to just try for myself rather than rely on reviews. Maybe I should just order a selection of various devices and see which works best rather than waste time thinking about it (but cold hands make the brain freeze as well...)
fingerless gloves would have to be heated to be any use
She swore by these type of fingerless USB powered gloves (I have no experience directly) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Powered-Stripes-Knitting-Fingerless-Washable/dp/B08MWDQS86/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=heated+fingerless+gloves&qid=1614870275&sr=8-5
Is it worth looking for the cause first? A friend of mine had liver problems and he wore fingerless gloves so he could still type at a keyboard otherwise his hands were permanently cold. I think they work better than you give them credit for. When he got the correct medication it solved his circulation problems. Not saying you have any of these problems but it does beg the question if this happens often.
What I do when I am say in a cold country is have a few of them in the bag. Use one when it gets too cold, then use another one a couple of hours later. Spread them out.

@kaypeejay you are right, there's a reason - bad circulation. I'm fine when I exercise or walk briskly but most of my day is spent at the desk. I always wear woollen wrist warmers and I do have the heating on but to to have an effect on my hands the room would have to be far hotter than is comfortable. That's why I'm looking to apply heat directly to the hands.
Unless there is something actually wrong then you need to keep your core warm. Once your core cools your body restricts the circulation to your extremities like hands and feet in order to keep the warmth in your vital stuff.
Only thing I've found that works is rubbing my hands and fingers together, frequently.
Annoying to have to do it but it works.
Unfortunately, it makes me look like a dirty old man about to carry out a sexual assault.
@scrumhalf agree with much of what you say. @calazul looks like a good purchase. As to the things you need to put into boiling water, I had an inspiration and placed a hot water bottle under my wrists on the desk which seems a more direct way of achieving the same thing.
