The Spaceball I know of is a "6D" CAD/DCC controller:

It's a force sensitive device, and much more similar to an analog 
joystick than to "endless" devices such as mice and trackballs.

I suppose the drivers *could* make it look like a 6 axis joystick or 
something. There are a few games that explicitly support these 
devices, but I don't know how they do it on the API level.
