How to Control Your Mouse Cursor Using the Keyboard

Most of Windows 7's accessibility options are, at best, of dubious usefulness to the average PC user. And that's fine, as they're generally designed for people with special needs, and can be easily deactivated. There's one accessibility option, however, that can be a big help to anyone: Mouse Keys.

If the name didn't tip you off, Mouse Keys is an accessibility option that allows you to control the mouse cursor using your keyboard. This can be useful in two ways. First, there's an obvious utility to Mouse Keys if your mouse ever breaks, or if you have to disconnect it for any reason. Second, Mouse Keys is very precise—a single press of a key moves the cursor by one pixel, making it useful for any application that requires ultra-high precision, like Photoshop.
