If you want to do everything with the keyboard, you know where to find Emacs. This mail is a good summary of the mouse timing argument: http://9fans.net/archive/2002/04/313
When I'm doing a lot of typing and mouse motion at the same time, I typically just type with one hand and leave the other hand on the mouse. It's not as fast but it's just fine. In response to Lyndon's comment about chording on a scroll wheel mouse, yes you definitely don't want to do that. It's well worth it to buy a good mouse. I used to swear by the three-button Logitech ones (I still have a stash) but now I prefer the IBM three-button + scroll knob that has been mentioned on the list before. http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-39116 Also IBM makes external mouse/keyboards with the 3-button thinkpad trackpoints on them.
