Really depends on what the thing outputs, and the mouse you hack it to, but I'd guess yes.

I'm assuming the three pins have one power and two outputs, and the output follows the same quadrature "protocol" as a normal mouse axis.  I'd guess they do, as it would be easy for manufactors to have three axis with the same protocol instead of two with one and the last with another, but IANAM. ;)
Voodooray:
That makes sense, well bits of it did anyway. ;)
I don't really know the nuts and bolts of how a mouse chip interprets the info it gets but it seems logical, as you say, that a three axis mouse would have three identical inputs.

Thanks gang.

Voodooray:
Yep, that's the one Nasty.
No chance of finding one so far though.

The shaft and the handle are no problem Floyd, i can make what i want with them really, just the belt drive bit i'm struggling with.

Oh well, nil desperandum!
Thanks guys.
