Going from Good to Unstoppable at Excel

Incoming PE associate here. I have developed my modeling and Excel skills during my time in banking, but I want to seriously get faster in Excel. I stopped using a mouse over 2 years ago, and feel like I have plateaued since then. Any advice on how to get 10-20% faster in Excel while still maintaining accuracy? Is this just a matter of becoming a faster typer at this point?
