Title: Have any of you eliminated the mouse altogether?
Post by: ranker on Mon, 13 May 2019, 14:03:24: I've been trying to eliminate the mouse altogether, just to improve my speed. I don't play games so I think it's doable.

Anyone else eliminate the mouse completely? Are there any times where you can't get around using a mouse even if briefly?

But if it's a good mouse, then i will not eliminate it.

Takes about a month to get used to mouse shortcuts. After that, I find using the mouse to be weird.

But I still use it for browsing weeb comics.

i agree, **** all the keyboard shortcuts you'd need to memorize to eliminate the mouse entirely
