Yo! Thanks for all the advice.

I couldn't find a place in town to rent the hardware, so we may never know how well Clavus Jr. would do at Mario Cart. But since we are on the subject of kids and games, my kid has his own PC and plays games on it pretty well.

Once I figured out he was left-handed, and set the mouse on the left side, he did a lot better. All his games are educational, so coordination and reaction time are not critical. But he moves the mouse where he wants it to go, and clicks what he wants to click.

Coordination for kids of that age is all over the board. We know one 3-yr old kid who can catch a football on the run. My own son can't catch a ball if he's standing still and its thrown right to him. However, he can pilot a remote controlled boat around the pool pretty well. Sigh...my son is going to be a geek like his father.
