mouseless

Lacking small rodents

Mouseless describes computing without a mouse—navigating by keyboard shortcuts, touchpad, or other input methods.

Power users often prefer mouseless workflows for speed: I've gone completely mouseless with vim keybindings.

The term also describes software designed to operate without mouse input: a mouseless interface.
