It doesnt reconize rotation.

What if you had two mice, one for each side. When you turn one registers backward movement, and the other forward. We did this with encoders on a couple kit wheels on the sides, so wheelspin didn't affect them. Those were really heavy though (~two pounds a side), mice would be much lighter (writes email).
