Uh... hardware mouse is how your mouse moves normally like on your desktop. Fast, smooth, goes where you want it to. Software mouse takes the hardware position data and then processes it again, for whatever reason, so it adds lag whenever you try to move your mouse. It's also tied to your FPS, so if you've got low FPS like most people do the mouse is even laggier, but even with high FPS it never touches a hardware mouse because of the extra processing involved. It's not another mouse you need to buy it's just the way the game decides to use the mouse data, I don't even know why XIV used software mouse to start with, supposedly it was easier for them or something but people didn't stand for it because hardware mouse is just better in every way.

I noticed that the movement of the mouse is noticeably faster after launch compared to open Beta. Maybe they did change it afterall
