 const F = props => {
   const [mousePositionRef, mousePosition] = useMousePosition(
     0,   // enterDelay
     200, //leaveDelay
     30,  //fps
   )

   return (
     <div ref={mousePositionRef}>
       Hover me and see where I am relative to the element:<br/>
       x: ${mousePosition.x}
       y: ${mousePosition.y}
     </div>
   )
 }

useMousePosition(enterDelay: number, leaveDelay:number, fps: number)
