Most scroll mice don't use optical wheels, instead it is closer to two buttons, thats why the microsoft scroll mouse clicks to place instead of continously rolling. If you do find one thats optical, you'd have to modify Mame to work with it.

: If one wanted to add a trackball and spinner to a control panel, would it be possible to hack one of the newer scrolling mice with the little "wheel", and use the mouse-ball circuitry for the trackball and the scrolling wheel circuitry for the spinner ?

: What do you guys think?
