How do hack a Pole Position steering wheel to a USB mouse?

Here is a better picture of my Pole Position PCB board:

You can pickup the atari pcbs from bob roberts.  Plus you see them all the time on ebay, usually listed as 720 optics.

Also, if I can locate which of the 4 pins are X1, X2, 5V and Ground, then could I simply solder wires from these four pins right to the underside of my USB mouse PCB somehow?   Will the USB mouse be able to decode the signals the Pole Position PCB sends?

I am confused.....I already have an Atari PCB for my Pole Postion (ie: it says Atari 80) on the PCB.   I am just trying to figure out how to connect this to my USB mouse PCB or how I can just attach my mouse PCB directly to the encoder wheel....

This is how I did my mouse hacks (2 spinners and a trackball).  All you have to do is match the wires correctly  ;)  (i.e. solder wires to the mouse PCB and then the other ends to the Pole Position PCB)

It looks to me (from your picture) that the 2 outer pins are signal.  I'm not sure, though ???
