Has anyone done a recent (cross platform) deep dive on how to do minimum latency UI? Especially with regard to stuff like mouse dragging widgets where you want the hardware mouse cursor to stick tightly. I was writing an imgui app and immediate present mode (not fifo/vsync) and event-driven presents with manual frame limiting to the refresh interval produces sufficiently low latency even with a 60 Hz refresh monitor. But that's going to be super janky if you want to do smooth animation as well.
