Time and motion studies have found that, for most people, it's actually
faster to use the mouse than it is to use the keyboard. To people like you
and I who claim the keyboard is actually faster, these they reply (I'm not
making this up!) that there's some sort of 'lost time' amnesia effect where
we literally don't remember the time it takes us to perform these actions,
making them only *appear* to be faster.
