    The thing is, the modern OSes and programs have made mouse so compulsory that you can’t really escape it. For instance, if you use a lot of creative software on your PC, can you avoid using a mouse? No. Playing games? No. Making games? No. Browsing the web? You can, but sometimes you can’t because of it’s noisy and complicated nature.

    Btw, if you’re on firefox, add this extension if you want to browse keyboard-only “most of the time”.

      We tend to think that a pc is used for everything, there are specific cases where a pc is only used for one particular purpose. Or environments where the administrator doesn’t give you the choice.

      The author mentioned this at the end of the article, specifically around those counter examples you raised.

      While there are cases where having a mouse would be useful, (Gaming, 3D Modeling, etc.) but for most people, with some change to their workflow, they can become completely obsolete.

        Yeah, I know that but what was I trying to say that those counter examples have the most popularity when it comes to end-users using their computers.
