yesterday I was in the position of having to download the driver software for the logitech unified remote receiver in order to get my mouse working.
While I had a working keyboard, there was no way to move the mouse cursor.

In the end, I had to temporarily plug another mouse to actually navigate to the driver download page.

Left ALT+left SHIFT+NUM LOCK: Toggles MouseKeys on and off "Instead of using the mouse, you can use the arrow keys on your keyboard or the numeric keypad to move the mouse." http://www.microsoft.com/enable/training/windowsvista/mousekeys.aspx http://www.microsoft.com/enable/training/windowsvista/mousek...

Chrome is similar but doesn't let you search within only links - but you can use ctrl-f to highlight a link, and press escape then enter.
