They aren't taking any one thing at face value, but are combining them to get a better picture.
You might use a trackpad, so you'd "fail" that test, but your useragent is normal, you've been seen before with those cookies, and your IP is good so you are fine.
But if your IP is a known "bad actor", your useragent is something never before seen, your mouse movements are abnormal, and your keyboard inputs are instant, well all of that combined means you are getting blocked.

Or what if I just open a new incognito window? Will I get blocked? > your mouse movements are abnormal, and your keyboard inputs are instant It seems to me these are really easy to fake programmatically.

If there are enough "red flags" you'll probably get a captcha, if there are an overwhelming number of "red flags" you might just get blocked. Again, just opening an incognito window or a new computer/ip isn't going to do it alone. >It seems to me these are really easy to fake programmatically. I'm sure they are, but they make the bar for "automated traffic" a little higher, and weed out some of the lower hanging fruit.
