You don't touch type I assume?

Touch typing is not only about typing faster. It gives you this other ability of "running your control panel" out of the home keys only (four fings on each hand resting on a,s,d,f and j,k,l,;). When you have to lift one of the hands off the home keys and move it to the mouse to do anything, and I mean anything, it's super annoying and frustrating.

Those who never learned to touch type are not likely to grok the appeal of mouseless work.

I think this is the problem. If it can't be explained, it makes me doubt there are objective improvements.

Touch typing is not that hard. You can learn, and then try yourself and see if you like mouseless work.
