Using the numeric keypad to move the pointer sucks!

[Darien]

I miss being able to use my mouse. Curses to dead usb ports!



topic about questioning to move to new cpu here



the cursor moves so slooow...even when i set it to the fastest settings. sigh, this had to happen AFTER i finished my exams. I wanted to use my xmas break to game...looks like that won't be happening for a while

You don't have a USB to PS2 adapter? I have like 6 spare ones lying around.

Tab, Alt, ctrl, and the F buttons are your friend.

the stupid mcretard mouse is no good.

I gave my last one to my brother. And I have a bunch of peripherals that are just lying around now...🙁

Yup, the tab key is being used often now

The problem I have is that all my usb ports are dead -- that's why I'm using the numeric keypad.

Download MozillaFirebird, then you can just type in the links you want to visit using the keyboard. So if I was on the main Off Topic listing and wanted to view this thread, I would just start typinh "using the" and it would go through the page until it finds that text in a link, then hit Enter and it will load that link 🙂

I use it a lot when I forget to charge the batteries in my mouse

Yah some cheapskates use rechargable batteries that last a couple of hours at most, unlike my nice duracell m3 thingys that last a few months 😛

True, but that only fixes one problem

My scanner, gamepad, ti graphing calculator link, webcam and printer all use usb. well, the printer can be resolved with the parallel port, but the rest...

Purchase a PCI USB controller card? They're pretty cheap (~$20).
