No, mice sensors are far from being SoTA linear encoders. They return approximate instantaneous movements somehow when read request is received. Mouse controller chips(USB or RF or Bluetooth) pack and report up the movements, that's it.

(psa: none of Chinese ADNS-2610 clones have the raw pixel output debug command. Maybe security implications or maybe something else, either way, mouse-as-microscope hacks don't work on sensors extracted from e-wastes)
