If you want to do everything with the keyboard,
you know where to find Emacs.
This mail is a good summary of the mouse timing argument:
http://9fans.net/archive/2002/04/313
When I'm doing a lot of typing and mouse motion
at the same time, I typically just type with one hand
and leave the other hand on the mouse.
It's not as fast but it's just fine.
In response to Lyndon's comment about chording
on a scroll wheel mouse, yes you definitely don't
want to do that. It's well worth it to buy a good mouse.
I used to swear by the three-button Logitech ones
(I still have a stash) but now I prefer the IBM
three-button + scroll knob that has been mentioned
on the list before.

Also IBM makes external mouse/keyboards with the
3-button thinkpad trackpoints on them.
