"they want that low-latency responsiveness which is important in situations like drawing with the mouse" Yes to this in general, not just with mouse polling- I've noticed a disturbing trend towards more and more buffering, caching, and latency in a lot of modern software and hardware. In my humble opinion, if your API/interface can't match the response time of the human nervous system, then it's just flat out broken. Nerves fire at 100 hz, for pete's sake. Transistors operate on a gigahertz level. Let's get our sh together, people.
