One thing that every single TV or movie gets wrong is the "computer expert" typing at a near superhuman key banging rate, and they never ever even once use the backspace key, rarely the space bar or the enter key, and never ever uese the mouse. And often they just type on the center row of keys. But they can work magic on the computer.

Most IT experts (just about anything "hackery") probably do most of their work via CLI (mostly Linux/Unix based, or even OSX) anyway so not much mousing would be required (especially when you consider that if they are on a box with a GUI there are probably keyboard shortcuts to nearly eliminate the need for the mouse).
But yes, what is shown on TV or movies for hacking and computer stuff is usually pretty silly and unrealistic.
