It is much quicker to use the keys if you wish to add two blocks of cells (and use ctrl, shift and arrow keys effectively), but for several single cells it is one of the few things that is quicker with the mouse.

Most people dislike the mouse as virtually everything else is quicker with the keys. I even have a personal macro workbook always open in the background to allow additional short-cuts for things where you might be reduced to mouse use due to the number of key strokes required, such as changing the cell colour. But then, I use Excel a lot.
