Should you happen to find yourself without a mouse for one reason or another you can use the numpad on your keyboard as a substitute. To enable this feature simply press __Shift-!NumLock__ (various people report their keyboards' !NumLock keys even have mouse icons on them - check yours!), which gives you two beeps to signify it's active.
Use 2/4/6/8 as down/left/up/right, respectively. 5 clicks a mouse button, + toggles whether it's the left or right one. * produces a middle-click.

+On my system, a Slackware 9.0 stock install, the + key does not toggle between left and right buttons. Instead, it emulates a double-click of the button. The / key changes 5 to be the left mouse button, * to the middle mouse button, and - to the right mouse button. -- SamuelFalvo

!! Changing the mouse cursor speed
[GNOME] and [KDE] have applets/config settings to change the mouse speed settings. If you prefer to do it manually, or you are running a different window manager/environment, you can use the xset(1) command.
