Unlikely.  While I may be an exception, I type extremely quickly, and find
that I can control a keyboard effectively and with minimal errors while
reading, talking, etc., even maintaining two trains of thought simultaneously.
With a keyboard I can get instant feedback with minimal motion, and my timing
is good enough to let me stop exactly where I want.  How good?  Well, I
finished Doom levels 1-3 in Nightmare mode with the keyboard.  I tried using
both a mouse and a trackball exclusively (each for 1 week) and still couldn't
get very far.  It's even worse for me with a joystick, BTW.  And yes, people
I know who use mice/sticks are impressed with my abilities.
I hate mouse-control on DOOM.
