2Control Your Mouse With a Keypad In Windows 11 [Tutorial]
On Windows 10, there are a lot of reasons why you may want to use the keyboard to control the mouse pointer. For instance, if the mouse stops working on your desktop, the touchpad suddenly breaks on your laptop, or you can't use the mouse, and using the keys on the keyboard is your best alternative.
Microsoft Windows has a feature called Mouse Keys that lets you move the mouse pointer, pixel by pixel, by pressing the arrow keys on your numeric keypad. Mouse Keys is an "Ease of Use" feature, helping users who cannot operate a mouse. Other users may find Mouse Keys useful if their mouse breaks, or runs out of batteries, for example.
Whatever the reason it might be, Windows 10 ships with the Mouse Keys feature that allows you to use the numeric keypad to move the mouse as well as to perform actions, such as click, double-click, open context menus, select, and more.
