Default My mouse broke! Q.Q

buuuut... I found a helpful article on how you can use your keyboard to control your cursor! ;D


You can activate this feature by pressing ALT+Shift+Num Lock.

How to move your cursor? Use the number pad off to your right, all of the numbers go in the direction of the arrows, I.E. 8 goes up, 2 goes down, etc, etc. keys such as 7 and 9 go in diagonal directions.

How do you click? Use the 5 button on your number pad off to the right.

You can adjust the speeds you want the cursor to move/accelerate at, also.
Thankfully, I don't have to navigate around the web using the only the Tab key anymore.

Posting this just in case someone else's mouse breaks or is broken, so if your mouse breaks or shorts out, remember this. =]
[Still can't wait to get a new mouse though]

Lol, yeah.

You can disable and enable it by pushing Num. Lock on/off. It makes beeping sounds when you do that too, just as a heads up. xD

This is very VERY helpful for me, because I have no mouse at all right now.
The only disadvantage is that it's really slow, and you can't play games with it.

However, you can adjust the speed and acceleration of your cursor.
Still can't play games with it, even if you set the speed higher, I've tried it and it's nearly impossible.

I'm honestly not sure.

Try it once.
You're a Mac user, right? I'm sure they have an equivalent but I've never checked so I have no clue.

Well than you're in a completely different boat than me.... So to speak.

Kind of off topic but do you use a Macbook or a Desktop?
