Not to mention less error-prone in general -- you don't risk clicking on the wrong bloody thing or with the wrong bloody button.
I don't see how this is any more error prone than pressing the wrong key.
Because it requires careful eye-hand coordination. You can touch-type without watching closely where your fingers are -- once you have your wrists/elbows anchored your fingers know where to go, on a familiar keyboard.
Did you ever try to touch-mouse?
Cheers, Ted.
