My mouse cursor is in a different place every time I reach for it. My keyboard is always in the same place. Sure, if I'm using a cursor with my keyboard, I'll have the same problem, but at least the cursor tends to be in the exact same spot I was already focusing my attention, ie where I was just typing. If I'm executing an action with my mouse, the path between my cursor's current location and where I need to click is almost always different. I have to move my attention to the cursor, and I can't just rely on muscle memory to do the command. If I'm executing an action with a hotkey, the path between the home row and the keys I need to hit are always the same. If it's something I do frequently, it's in my muscle memory, and I don't have to shift my attention away from the task at hand. I don't care much about the speed at which I can accomplish a single action (as long as it's not unbearably slow), but I do care about having to shift my attention away from what I'm doing. If I'm doing something that requires a lot of typing (eg, programming), I'll try to do as much as possible with the keyboard. If I'm in a novel environment and have to rely on visual cues (eg, surfing the web), I'll do most things with the mouse.
