Control the mouse from the keyboard on Mac, Windows and Linux
Black Friday: is there a Mouseless sale?
Mouseless report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for controlling the mouse from the keyboard on any desktop
Mouseless lets you click, drag and scroll by typing coordinates, on Mac, Windows and Linux. The trial is 14 days with no card, but the lifetime and subscription prices were not readable, and licenses must be re-validated every 30 days.
Who Mouseless is for
- Fits if mouse strain or accessibility needs push you to the keyboard
- Works for people who switch between Mac, Windows and Linux
Who Mouseless is not for
- Tight if you stay free, because the trial ends after 14 days
- Not for you if you need a price first, as the paid amounts are not published
- Watch out: each license activates on 5 machines and must be validated at least every 30 days
- Skip it if you want phones or tablets covered, since it is desktop only
Why Mouseless gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyThe lifetime and subscription prices sit behind a purchase dialog and are not on record, so there is no figure to compare.
- CFree plan and trialA 14-day trial with no card or email, but no free plan after it.
- CFeaturesEvery button and action, plus a free-movement mode. It does that job fully, and it is a smaller job.
- CEase of useNo rating on record, and typing coordinates on an overlay is a habit to learn.
- CPlatforms and integrationsMac, Windows and Linux, but computers only, with no integrations listed.

Keep Mouseless, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Mouseless you would be making keys and buttons remapped below the level of apps. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 42 of the 48 other window managers and launchers grade higher.
What you could not
- Keys and buttons remapped below the level of apps.
- Apps for macOS, Windows and Linux that stay in step with each other.
What this rests on. Mouseless’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
