I've also tried to move PC to jaws and click the actual mouse and have had
little or no success. I figured it was because I had accidentally rolled
the mouse a milimeter off the mark, since they are altogether too sensitive
in my opinion, especially the buttons. I don't know what to do to remedy
this. But it is a valid concern. I also think that the buttons on a mouse
should be much more like to buttons on a keyboard, much less sensitive.

Sometimes mouse moves can be done by the appropriate keys and sometimes
not. I ran into another program where this won't work. I had to give up
using that program.
