I worked on Microsoft’s Windows QA team long ago. My team used to have “No-mouse Tuesdays”: you were supposed to do all your normal work but only using the keyboard.

What I wouldn't give to work for a company that actually cares about QA.

Which is not Microsoft. Maybe back in that day but today no. It's more Quality Assumption now :)

I guess that team was dismantled some time ago, with no on carrying the flag anymore. Modern windows is impossible to work on using just keyboard. Some mods & extensions do help. But the native experience is abysmal.

My touchpad doesn't work anymore. Why is it so difficult to connect a bluetooth mouse without a mouse? The "mouse detected, want to connect?" notification shows up ON THE SCREEN but I need to enter a bunch of shortcuts and navigate through multiple items just to be able to click yes.

Yes and especially the new web-driven apps are terrible at it.

I assume MouseKeys was cheating ?

Send fair to me: someone’s got to test Mouse Keys! :)
