What do you all think of this?

Video is only 6 minutes and 44 seconds long.

Project is called "Mouseless" and seems to be a keyboard mod.

I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

I bought this. The dev has a Mac version and just came out with a Windows beta version. It's super useful. I can completely eliminate my use of the mouse if I want to, which helps a ton when working on my laptop since I don't really like using touchpads.

The lifetime license for the software has per-country pricing. In the USA, it's priced at $20, which is pretty good for such a useful tool. I'd much rather pay a lifetime license than a subscription.

Oh yeah, fuck subscriptions.

Maybe I'll get this after all, but many were saying that this software is kinda already available through different developers.

Other tools do exist for using the mouse with your keyboard, but this is the first one I've ever found that brings up a grid and lets you click in the grid.

Other software lets you move the cursor left, right, up, down, and click, but that will never be faster than just switching to the mouse. I've used some before and they feel like a painful crutch.

Instead, Mouseless lets you click immediately in any location, making it even faster than switching the mouse. You can practice clicking with it using https://humanbenchmark.com/tests/aim .
