REACH Interface Author keyboards can be used to practice the motor skills involved in pointing and clicking activities. For example, if you use scanning keyboards, you can practice clicking your switch with the Baseball Keyboard (baseball.kbd). Your job is to press the switch when the ball gets to the plate (see above picture). If you press at the right time, you get a home run. Otherwise, you get feedback about whether you were too early or too late. You can change the speed of the ball by adjusting "Scan Time".

Practice your pointing skills with the Road Racing Game (race1.kbd). Move your mouse cursor to the Start button and then follow the road to the finish line (see picture below). When you finish the first track, try the second and third more difficult race tracks.
