A system mouse is exactly what I want - because the system mouse usually runs at a high fps. The only other thing feature is to be able to specify custom images in ARGB for a cursor animation. I can do that on linux, and I’m now working on win32.
Take that back - you can, but not with the rendering library that LWJGL uses.
And if you are going to use the hardware cursor - aren’t you pretty much back to using the mouse cursor that Java provides. Don’t know about other platforms but on OSX the mouse pointer is the system cursor.
