I am a bit of a keyboard junkie myself.  I'm quite happy using either
the keyboard or mouse for a lot my computer input, but I find using the
keyboard is quicker.

I annoyed the IT manager at my secondary school for being quite happy
to use their computer system without a mouse (as my fellow students
repeatedly performed castrations on them) and he wasn't familiar with
most of the keyboard shortcuts for things.
