I can only guess -- 1. you're restricting blood flow to your arm by leaning on the desk/table. 2. The desk/table is at room temp (colder than your body temp) and heat from your arm is conducted into the desk.

It happens to me a lot at work. What causes it is that fact that your desk is most likely a little colder than you are. With your forearm resting on the desk, the heat from your arm is being taken by the desk. The colder blood then goes to your hand and your hand gets cold. It doesn't help that you hand is resting on a cold mouse as well, and, it's also out in the open with no cover to keep the little bit of heat in.
What I did was buy a pair of thin wool gloves, not the big thick ones, and I cut the finger ends off so I could type. Now I have something keeping the heat in my hand and it's fine. A long sleeve shirt or sweater to insulate your arm works wonders as well.

The hand that use the mouse is "frozen" in a static position with a little movement and therefore the blood pools in your fingers and hand. The elbow is also bent which slows the blood flow from returning the the heart. Movement moves blood "back" to the heart from all parts of your legs, feet and hands so if you don't move them enough, the blood pools and you feel a "cold sensations because new "warm" blood isn't coming in
