Yes, that is how mine is connected. The true test is if the movement is correct when you connect it it the trackball - if not, reverse it. But as I said, that's how mine is connected.

thanks I will try it, my main concern was making sure not to fry anything by connecting it the wrong way.
do you have the buttons connected if so can you post a pic or a "how to" so I can connect mine. thanks

See the photo for where to connect the button wires. I found that those internal sound cables (from the CD drive to the soundcard) fit these pins nicely. You might need to hack a couple to get all the wires you need but you'll find out that it's pretty simple.
The Optiwiz is marked for what goes where, but I elaborated in the photo.
Good luck.
