Equivalent to DirectInput for Windows Store Apps?

I am building a game for Windows 10 that utilizes input to draw on the screen, but the fidelity is lacking. It is not accurate enough to draw a straight line if you draw fast. That's when I thought of DirectInput, which I've used in C++ games for Windows 7, but that API is not available for Store Apps... is there an equivalent, which will increase my accuracy for the drawing?

DirectInput is not supported for Windows 8 Store or UWP. Use of DirectInput for mouse and keyboard has been discouraged for many years.

For touch & mouse, you use the unified pointer interfaces. You can also use relative mouse data which might be more what you are looking for in terms of resolution.

See Responding to touch input (DirectX and C++) and Developing mouse controls (DirectX and C++).

Keep in mind that UWP uses DIPS so you have to convert to raw pixels using the current DPI setting.
