when you don't use a mouse
?
Some people with physical disabilities [see examples] don't have the dexterity to use a mouse. They might be using the keyboard instead, or an assistive tool like a switch device or speech recognition.
Some blind people might not use a mouse if they can't see the cursor on the screen well. FYI: legally blind people usually have some level of vision, such as light and colour perception; it's actually quite rare to have zero vision.
Some people are able to use a mouse but prefer using the keyboard as they find it more convenient.
