    yes, there are ways to use only the mouse to accomplish every action, other then talking to other people, but its much easier to use the keyboard shortcuts for most things

    Jumping, flipping, flying higher or lower, taking a screen shot, or actually communicating at all when looking for a squad for anything would be difficult.

    The latter could be done with a microphone and already having a group you know, but other wise not only is it impractical to only use the mouse, it wouldn't be particularly fun...

    You also would not have access to Shift so talking to a lot of NPCs in Archosaur or for any event would be troublesome. While many things can be done with the mouse, I think you really do need to have a keyboard on hand.

    i used to set up my catshop with just a mouse and screen keyboard on an old pc.
    considering that it was way over 50% of my gaming time (24/7 catshop).... XD

    If you are handicapped - or if you are a teenager whose other hand is busy with other stuff whole day long, get a freely programmable computer mouse with enough buttons and chat/cyber via ts/skype/vent.

    A gaming mouse with programmable extra buttons would be useful for setting hotkeys such as jumping/flying higher/lower, and then the use of an onscreen clickable keyboard would probably be your best bet for a comfortable gaming experience without a physical keyboard.
