Seems odd... what is the point of having "subpixel precision"? It is a pointing device, ergo, by definition it shows what I am doing, I see no point in more sensitivity than the screen can feed back... not even for hardcore gaming... or perhaps it is me not being hard-core enough.

you've probably not hardcore enough XVIIlarcano, or you're unfamiliar with subpixelprecision drivers.
The fancy mice you see aimed for "gamers" (Razor, mx1000 etc) already try to accomplish this since their resolution surpasses the screenresolution.
In a gamingsituation this would be most noticable when eg. zooming in with a sniperrifle.
for you, who want to *see* what you are doing - it should be ideal, instead of watching the pointer hop along with the pixels - it would move as smoothly as you move your hand.

Difficultish I suppose, but worth it for the hard-core gamers.
