Just got a new mouse pad. Its a cooler master Teflon coated on.
After useing it for 5 mins condensation forms on it where my hand has been touching it. I dont have sweaty hands so it has to be because the temperature difference.
Its not a lot of condensation but it is enough to wet a hole cigarette paper.

Will the small amount of moisture damage my mouse?
Iv got a razor death adder.

Also is there anything I can do to stop it happening other then wearing gloves or having my sleeve over the bottom of my palm.

It wont damage your mouse, it'll only just be an annoyance. I've never heard of anyone getting condensation on their mouse pad...Maybe turn up the heat in your room? lol, No idea

Room isnt that cold, Its 13c at the moment.
Its just the mouse pad is always cold to the touch being teflon compared to my hand which is 37c.

There must be some sort of product you can use to stop it like the stuff you have for windows.

Time to pre-heat it before use

Heat and sweat from your hand. Also sounds like your area has a lot of moisture in the air. Humidifier in the vincinity? I bet it moistens up when you exhale on it too

Live next to a bush so yup a lot of moisture in the air.
No point running a de-humidifer since it will just suck all the moisture from outside since my PC is sucking cool air in from outside.

Only thing you can really do is get a cloth mousepad. 13C is likely cold enough to cause condensation to form from your hand on it, especially since you say it's rather humid.

No idea how you can live with it that cold in your house, that's freezing (well not freezing but pretty damn cold! lol) im pretty warm blooded though living in Texas

13C is cold for indoors...

Its not that bad, Just always wear jeans and a hoddie and Im use to it,
Its when it gets below 8c when it starts getting a bit cold but thats just in my computer room, Have a heater for my bed room.
I cant see how you can survive that heat. It gets unbearable when it gets to 25c (77f). Its easyer to warm up then cool down lol.
