Hardware cursors bypass the game engine to reduce input lag

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Letting an engine draw a virtual mouse pointer adds agonizing milliseconds of delay to your movements. Hardware cursors bypass the software rendering pipeline entirely, instructing the operating system itself to draw the pointer over the application. This ensures your inputs remain perfectly responsive, completely ignoring how badly the actual simulation might be lagging.
