You can control the mouse with the keyboard.
use CTRL-ESC to open the start menu, then arrow up to settings, left
arrow to control panel.  In control panel run the Accessability Options
and by using the TAB key, put the highlight on the tabs at the top and
left arrow over to the mouse tab.  Then TAB once more to highlight the
check box and hit the space bar.  Then tab to apply and hit enter.  You
should now be able to control the mouse cursor with your arrow keys.
