Raw-Mouse:

The alternative would be to use NEWT's mouse-jail, where you would always get mouse input. Hmm, but not beyond its window-scope. Yeah, I get it and add it to my list.

Mouse-jail is less accurate and consumes much CPU time than just treating the screen as an unbounded surface and getting the relative mouse coordinates. Moreover, it's easier when porting source code as it's quite common in gaming APIs.
