  On screen keyboards aren't the best to enter text with a pointer. I wrote this with a swiping predictive keyboard for instance, and it went pretty damn fast. With the right interface, I wonder if we couldn't learn to enter text really fast with a mouse, even without prediction. Of course there's little point in exploring that design space since we're so fast with (and have invested so much in) keyboard typing. Either way, I think designing a keyboard only interface to play Doom efficiently would be much harder!

    Doom was fine exclusively with a keyboard. It wasn't until Quake that a mouse became needed.
