You can use the keyboard if you want.
Code:
< Turning on the feature > 
 
 Press Shift + NumLock to turn the feature on. 
 
 < Moving> 
 
 Move the mouse using the 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9 keys in your number pad. Take a look at your number pad, and you'll quite quickly figure out which key moves the mouse in which direction. 
 
 
 < Clicking > 
 
 
 Click by hitting the 5 key on your number pad. Double click by hitting it twice. 
 
 Click and hold by hitting the 0 key. To release, hit 5. 
 
 By default, hitting the 5 key will do a left click. You can select what button to click with the /, *, and - keys on your number pad: 
 / Left click 
 * Middle click 
 - Right click 
 
 Note that these just select the mouse button. You still need to use 5 to click it. 
 
  
 < Turning the mouse feature off > 
 
 Press Shift + NumLock again to turn this feature off.
