On Arch Linux, would it be possible to somehow read the raw positioning data from 4 of these http://dx.com/p/usb-2-0-wired-red-laser-3200-2400-1600-800dpi-gaming-mouse-black-225631#.Ut8__7SxWM8these mice mice at at least 2400dpi simultaneously at high speed (150mm/s) using an RPi? I am guessing that this should be possible but I am struggling to find reading material on the topic, I will obviously need a USB hub though and I do not know how that affects the speed of the mouse operation. I am using Mone C# for coding and I should be able to figure out the code once I have information on how to achieve this in whatever language on the RPi but if you want to post code that would also help...

PS. This is for a project that I will also need a RPi with a Wifi dongle and a webcam and I need to know how much the hub affects the speed (and therefore usability) of the mice so that I know if I will be able to get away with just one RPi. (4mice one port, wifi and webcam on the other or something like that)

Read positioning data from 4 laser mice
