Less Mouse & More Keyboard

I’ve started to re-think my use of the mouse as an input device. The mouse is an inherently slow, unproductive tool for tasks that do not require precision. Yet, we use the mouse for these tasks because it is a habit left over from our computer beginner days. Think about it, the mouse only took a matter of 5 seconds to figure out. But since we are computer experts now, why do we use a mouse when using a keyboard shortcut could do the same thing quicker?

I’d thought I’d wait to hear what problems the early adopters a.k.a. “beta testers” would have with the highly coveted super gadget.
