genuine curiosity, how often are you clicking something without looking at it at least for a moment?

or, how often do we believe other people are clicking something with out looking at it?

im examining this for myself...hard to feel organic while im actively focusing on it, but i at least glance at my mouse pointer target while traversing the pointer towards the target across my screens

A lot.

I also started thinking about it reading the reviews, and the main cases to me are:

- checking something before commiting an action: for instance reread the product name before pushing the purchase button. The pointer is already on the button, I keep it there while checking the order, so I just need to click.

- focus switch: pushing another window to the forefront doesn't need a super accurate click. I assume most people eye ball it like me and will click on a emptyish part of the window from the corner of their eye. Same for moving the focus away.

- scroll and type like situation: mostly when using a document on the side while taking notes. My eyes and focus will be primarily on one side (with quick glances on the other), while the mouse/trackpad movement will be on another.

I think we'll discover a lot more instances of this.

your first example is p solid, i agree there will be a micro-tedium related to re-focusing on a confirmation button in that type of scenario

assuming that, in the AVP UX, the user could not linger hand-gesture focus on the button then immediately click after verifying whatever info they are reading as they will have to move the eyes up (to read lol) then back down to focus the hand-gesture control back onto the button

Often times I'll look to position the mouse and then look at something else when I actually hit the button.
