Default What will a MIDI keyboard/controller do for me

Ok, now I know this will be hard to do but lets pretend for a minute that I know nothing about MIDI.

I have Toontracks EZ Drummer, Cubase LE and a Presonus firebox and I am very happy with all three so far.

I know enough about MIDI to program my own grooves with the mouse but my question is this: What will a keyboard/controller do that I cant do with the mouse for drums or even any other instrument samples.

Is it the ability to program "real time" with the controller or what?

Please educate me and remember,......Try to pretend I know very little about MIDI ok.

Thanks in advance, Terry.
