This isn't really possible -- I've never seen a mouse fire events at more than around 30Hz on any OS. 1000Hz is not due to mouse movements. > Is the idea behind the window.invalid flag that I set it to False when I > create the window, and then manually flip in my update loop? You must set window.invalid to False after the window is repainted (i.e., when its content is valid), and True when it needs to be repainted.
