Yes, well I’ve already searched Google and the boards and cannot find anything other than someone complaining that JOGL is slow.
Is it even possible to capture the mouse in a GLCanvas?

Yep, you can use a MouseListener to be notified of when the cursor leaves the GLCanvas, and a java.awt.Robot to move it back inside. You can also get an invisible cursor with


Dimension d = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getBestCursorSize( 1, 1 );
Image invisibleImage = new BufferedImage( d.width, d.height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB );
Cursor invisibleCursor = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor( invisibleImage, new Point(), "Invisible cursor" );
