Do your own mouse driver as M-File via raw HID access. Version for "12-Bit mouse'

function [ dx, dy, sx, sy ] = RawMouse2(devIndex)
% Parse raw HID datastream from a mouse to implement
% raw mouse movement from HID reports.
%
% This is just an example! The data format is mouse
% dependent, this is for a DELL LaserMouse.
%
% Must be run "sudo" root unless proper udev rules
% are defined to allow non-root raw access to mouse
% on your system.
%
% Will (violently) detach the mouse from the GUI,
% making it unuseable for regular "mousing" until
% mouse is unplugged and replugged.
%
% Should work on Linux and probably OS/X. Will not
% work on Windows, as MS forbids low-level HID access to
% mouse and keyboard.
%
% You should disable mouse queries after use via
% PsychHID('ReceiveReportsStop', devIndex); and/or
% flush the buffer via a PsychHID('GiveMeReports', devIndex);
% This is not shown in this demo...
