Subject:Keyboard vs. mouse From:Melissa Hunter-Kilmer <mhunterk -at- BNA -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 31 Oct 1995 13:45:19 EST
Techwhirlers,
We are planning our documents for a new in-house application. We suspect
that using the keyboard is faster than using a mouse. If it is, we want
to slant the doc and training so that users become accustomed to keyboard
shortcuts.
However, we don't have any hard evidence of the difference in speed. Does
anybody know of a study or article that sheds light on which is faster?
Thanks.
Rodentially yours,
Melissa Hunter-Kilmer
