You can move your mouse with your keyboard.

Go to the Control Panel. Enter the Ease of Access center.

Go to Make the Mouse Easier to Use.

Check the box saying “Turn on Mouse keys”

Click “Set up Mouse keys”

Check the box saying “Turn on mouse keys with left ALT + left shift + number Lock” if you want to be activate this feature without going to this menu again.

If you don’t want the mouse to be too sluggish, make the speed and acceleration to the maximum.

It is also a good idea to use mouse keys when number lock is “ON”.

Click apply, and turn it on with left alt + left shift + number lock.

Now use the numbers in the number pad that have the arrows on them.

That concludes our tutorial. Have fun!
