Today users are heavily relied on using the mouse in order to control computers. Computer mouse provides a lot of ease during the usage of the computer especially GUI related tasks like drawing, button, and text-heavy app, menus, etc. We can use a computer without a mouse though even it is very hard to use some applications. Especially some console, terminal, text-based applications can be easily used without a mouse. But on the other side, it is very hard to use CAD or computer-aided design applications without a mouse. But it is possible. Today applications provide most of the function of the cursor via keyboard shortcuts but some of the crucial functions are lacked.

今天，用户非常依赖使用鼠标来控制计算机。 在使用计算机时，计算机鼠标提供了很多便利，尤其是与GUI相关的任务，例如绘图，按钮和文本繁重的应用程序，菜单等。即使有些应用程序很难使用，我们也可以不用鼠标使用计算机。 尤其是某些控制台，终端，基于文本的应用程序，无需鼠标即可轻松使用。 但另一方面，如果没有鼠标，很难使用CAD或计算机辅助设计应用程序。 但是有可能。 如今，应用程序通过键盘快捷键提供了大多数光标功能，但缺少一些关键功能。
