Yes. In fact, there are people who choose to operate the computer completely without the mouse. This is because the first home computers were completely text operated and did not use a mouse. In order to view a file you had to type in a long string of text on where he file was located. A few people still prefer this method of operation and use the computer without a mouse. These people normally run Linux on the computers due to the very powerful console application, which is much like running a text based computer. You can, however, complete almost any task in windows with the keyboard. You use keyboard shortcuts to do so. Most basic navigation can be done with the arrow keys, enter, tab, and alt. However, to navigate in between windows and and perform other necessary tasks, keyboard shortcuts are needed. If some things become too complicated with the keyboard, sometimes command prompt, a windows application that is like running a test based system, can make the task easier.

Operating a computer without the mouse can be difficult and time consuming but using the mouse along with keyboard shortcuts can actually speed up everyday tasks. In some aspects, using the keyboard actually is faster.
