Fluid mouse movement

[taylorc8]

What is the best way to map an input device like a joystick to mouse movement? Windows Messages, or polling? Those are the only two options I've read about so far, I've tried polling and I can't get acceptable results with it.

Handling events is almost always preferable to polling.
However, both ways should be fluid if you're updating the cursor every frame.
