Personally I'm not a fan of panadapters or fancy displays on radios.
Give me a tuning knob, volume control, and a good front end like the
K2/100 has (maybe some day a K3 when Run 2 runs out the door) and that's
about all I need!
WriteLog allows you to do the same thing as N1MM and a few other logging
programs - "point & click" on the band map and cluster spots.
However this mode of operation pointing and clicking spots or band map
entries is a very small part of the total contest venue -- except at the
multi-op stations for the multiplier station, where you have more time
to fiddle with the mouse (or knobs) to tune in the station than a run or
search and pounce station has.
So, yes, there is room for a mouse on the operating desk .... just not
much use for it when you are running or sweeping the band looking for
new stations.
These are my opinions and I own them!

My contest team uses N1MM contest logger and we can "point and click"
on the band map side bar where previously entered call signs are
listed. I use this frequently and I use the t/rx tuning dial for more
search and pounce. Learning N1MM was slow, but using it speeds me up a
lot.

Given that "no knobs" operations are pretty new, and only possible
with some radios, I think you may be confusing a correlation with a
causation. When "no knobs" operators have the experience that "with
knobs" operators do, then we may see different results. It also is
dependent on the "no knobs" interface.
