The keyboard method is my choice. I use it anyway, at least when I'm too lazy to actually sit up and move the mouse around.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'd go with the keyboard. I can access all the programs and write whatever I need. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to post here, but I could browse it, especially if I were using Firefox, which automatically allows me to input a URL when a new tab is opened. Also, I would much rather have a mouse problem than a keyboard problem. If a keyboard doesn't register when the computer is booting, you can forget about using the computer. If the mouse doesn't register, then the keyboard is still a viable tool.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The mouse. A click will take me in my desired direction, but it wouldn't be much help when I'm on messenger, attempting to communicate with my friends. Odd thing, that would be, morse code or beep code as a form of modern communication...well not exactly odd, but in a sense, it would be conventional, but you'd have to think a good bit harder.

As a Linux user who is very comfortable with the command-line, I could easily give up my mouse. The keyboard, though, is almost required; the mouse is virtually useless for text input (unless you're talking about a writing tablet like in a tablet PC, but that's not a mouse) and is too limited in applications where you need alot of functionality (Blender comes to mind here, along with many games).

keyboard would have to win... you can do thing much easier... even easier than some things that mie are used for. e.g. tabs instead of clicking boxes, windows key instead of start, alt-tab to select running programmes instead of using the taskbar etc...

I'd take the mouse over the keyboard primarily because FPSs just wouldn't be the same. Not to mention I think today's voice recognition software and microphone could replace the keyboard's functions.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Somebody should really invent a keymourd. I'd use it. Not a touchpad or a trackball. Maybe a little pad with a stylus off to the side of your keyboard with a clicker button on the end of the stylus. AND LASERS!

One of my rats chewed through my keyboard cable on thursday. I went out and bought a new keyboard today. (I had been using an old IBM clunker from 1984 between thursday and today.)

Mouse selection. No second thought about that. Imagine typing resumes at 6 words per minute! Besides, I don't use a mouse...I use touchpad!

No freaking way I could go without the keyboard. As many others have said, it would be a ***** to just use the mouse.

Definitely get rid of the mouse! I can live without it, but I can't type with the accessibility keyboard! And at least that way I'd save batteries (although to be fair, the batteries in my mouse only need changed after about six months...)

One could argue that in a number of circumstances it's easier and/or quicker to use the keyboard to navigate an area, using tab, etc. As such I'd take the keyboard always (I actually remember having a laptop which allowed you to control the mouse using the 'FN' and arrow keys).

I'm gonna have to go with the keyboard on this one as well. I can do pretty much everything on a keyboard that i use the mouse for anyway.

I'd give up the mouse. I'd rather learn to use the keyboard to control my comp than use a mouse to type. Too frustrating clicking the letters. bleh

Keyboard and shortcuts are the fastest way but the mouse is the easy way... it depends on the mood...

Windows was made to be fully operational off of a standard 104-key keyboard. Besides the whole Alt-this, Ctrl-that, it shouldn't be hard to adjust to for an end user.

I'd take the mouse since I don't chat much anyway.

The only thing I would nee the keyboard for would be to spam on GFF. ;_;

How ya doing, buddy?
