Interesting question. There are a ton of things that you cannot do without a mouse in Windows (which is the OS I use most of the time). Yet I use the keyboard a lot more than others.
But the mouse still comes up tops I think...

The unix system I use doesn't have a GUI, so, obviously, it's all keyboard.
I access it thru a PC using a terminal emulator. When I'm doing other PC stuff, I tend to use the mouse - but that's because I hate PCs. When I use my Mac, I tend to learn and use the keyboard shortcuts so I can avoid using the mouse. Nothing against the mouse, it's just easier and quicker to type rather than mouse.

This thread and poll assumes that a mouse is even available. This century I have tended to use notebooks/laptops which have a touchpad and funny little joystick thingie embedded in the keyboard. I also have a cool keyboard with a roller ball... it works great, unlike those stupid roller ball based mice (mouses?). I don't have a touch screen any more and it's been a long time since I've seen a lightpen, but I'll bet that there other options.
Actually, I have heard about a mouse-like thing that you just wave through the air. Via internal gyros, it figures out what you want to do. Has anyone used that thing yet? Last edited by Perderabo; 07-01-2008 at 10:54 AM. Reason: Omitted a key word....
