I'd assume if you are reading raw data directly from the mice they just report relative events, i.e., the "space" they are in is infinite. If you plug in multiple mice under X they'll all affect the cursor, hopefully you can consume events below this. Vis. C++, you can dig around, but the kernel API looks to involve either language agnostic reads on device nodes or else use of the C library ioctl() call.
